	Movies - Nirvana

Nirvana is a science-fiction movie, produced in Italy in 1997 by director Gabriele Salvatores, starring Christopher Lambert, Diego Abatantuono and Stefania Rocca.

The movie tells the story of a virtual-reality game designer, Jimi (Lambert), who finds out that the main character of his game, Solo (played by Abatantuono), has achieved sentience due to an attack by a computer virus. Asked by his creation (who feels everything the character in the game feels, including multiple deaths) to cease his existence, Jimi sets out to erase the game and thus spare Solo of further suffering.

Overview

Nirvana is one of the rare Italian science fiction films to use computer generated special effects in a massive way.

The storyline itself exemplifies several main themes of cyberpunk, such as the Philip K. Dick quote "Living and unliving things are exchanging properties", meaning computers are becoming human, and humans are becoming less so, both by the influence of technology.

Despite having been accused of a simplicistic rendering of the themes, Nirvana has achieved something of a cult status, especially in Europe.
