Code 46

Michael Winterbottom creates a typically dark and disturbing world of cloning and memory-wiping in a time when we have all become refugees unless we can prove otherwise - it's inspired by his real-life refugee saga In This World.

An understated yet oddly affecting sci-fi romance which offers a glimpse of a disturbing and all-too-credible future.

Michael Winterbottom's Code 46 reminds me of a William Gibson novel; the values and mood of film noir are linked with modern alienation and futuristic newspeak.

Michael Winterbottom's futurist romance Code 46 is a four-star mess of a film, a 92-minute, color-coded mood enhancer boiling over with provocative ideas and unsettling imagery.

Michael Winterbottom’s foray into science fiction is cryptic, eccentric, and poetic.
