V for Vendetta
There is anarchy in the UK as a terrorist aims to bring down a fascist British regime. The talent behind The Matrix adapt this graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd
Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V for Vendetta tells the story of a young working-class woman named Evey who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man known only as "V." Profoundly complex, V is at once literary, flamboyant, tender and intellectual, a man dedicated to freeing his fellow citizens from those who have terrorized them into compliance.
Due to the politically sensitive content of the film, V for Vendetta has been the target of both criticism and praise from a wide-variety of groups. Visually stunning and thought-provoking.
