    Like World on a Wire 1999s uThe Thirteenth Floor is also an adaptation of the novel Simulacron-3.And rather unfortunately released one month after The Matrix! Holger Hasse did the hard work and decided to read the book so why not join us as we compare the two versions and spend more time waxing lyrical about Werner Ranier Fassbinder.

    On it's release in 1999 The Matrix wowed audiences with its mix of kung fu action, dazzling visuals and mindbending concept of living in a virtual world. However, starting decades before on the small screen, the concept of living in a simulation has already been portrayed in the most imaginative ways. Ian is joined by Holger Hasse to review three such examples!

    World On A Wire (1973). Directed by Ranier Werner Fassbinder. Written by Fassbinder and Fritz Muller-Scherz. Based on the novel simulacron-3 by Daniel F Galouye. starring Klaus Lowitsch and Barbara Valentin.
