Strange Days (1995) – Tech, Violence & the End of the Millennium | The Cinema Sessions Ep#25.

Описание: As we close out 2025, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most unsettling and underrated sci-fi films of the 1990s — Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days (1995).

Set in the final days before the millennium, Strange Days imagines a future where memories can be recorded, traded, and relived — blurring the line between entertainment, addiction, and exploitation. Featuring a noir-soaked Los Angeles, brutal violence, police corruption, and prescient ideas about surveillance and tech obsession, the film feels more relevant now than ever.

For this special end-of-year episode, Ciaran steps into the host’s chair alongside Seamus, as Keith was tied up behind the scenes. Together, they break down the film’s themes, performances, direction, and why Strange Days failed on release — despite being frighteningly ahead of its time.

Is Strange Days a misunderstood cyberpunk classic, or an ambitious mess that went too far? And does it hit harder nearly 30 years later?

🎧 The final Cinema Sessions episode of 2025 — thanks for listening, and we’ll see you in the new year.
