“You take the blue pill… the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill… you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”

Long before the “manosphere” co-opted the red pill for its own agenda, the Wachowskis used this existential choice to write cinema history. THE MATRIX fundamentally challenges our perception of reality, reminding us what the metaphor was truly about: breaking free from a constructed world, far removed from today’s internet memes.

We follow the hacker Neo as he discovers that the world as we know it is a simulation designed to use humanity as a power source. Alongside the resistance, he learns to bend and break the laws of this digital prison. What follows is a philosophical action spectacle where the lines between man and machine blur, wrapped in groundbreaking visual effects that haven’t lost an ounce of their power.

Experience this masterpiece as it was meant to be seen: on 35mm. The authentic grain and texture of analog film breathe new life into the iconic green-and-black aesthetic and the raw atmosphere of early cyberpunk. A unique opportunity to witness the “bullet time” revolution and the battle against Agent Smith on authentic celluloid.

Also come and see the Wachowski’s debut, BOUND, on 35mm.
