Plot: Chrysalis feels a lot like Equilibrium - a futuristic science fiction film about moral issues featuring some great hand-to-hand fight scenes. Directed by first-time French filmmaker Julien Leclercq, the film takes place in Paris in the year 2025 and follows Police Lieutenant David Hoffman (Albert Dupontel) on his search for a notorious smuggler. The plot eventually dives into the depths of murder and moral issues like altering ones mind and dreams in order to become someone else entirely. Leclercq exquisitely portrays a vivid futuristic world without a gigantic budget or shots of Paris with futuristic CGI alterations, and yet the look and feel of the film is certainly sci-fi.
The story itself, while for the most part confusing even up to the end, has a complicated structure that lends itself to an entertaining expose of drama and action sequences. The fights are cinematically shot well and thrilling, almost even at the level of The Bourne Identity, which is amazing for a first-time director. It's not the type of film you can completely phase out and yet enjoy, but it's also not something that requires 100% devotion - and that careful balance is why I liked it as much as I did. I'm a sucker for sci-fi in any form, and Chrysalis was a finely crafted and unique venture into a futuristic Paris. The lead character, David Hoffman, even reminded me quite a bit of Bato^ from the anime Ghost in the Shell, but without the cybertronics - just a desensitized and rigid cop who's been witnessing the worst of brutality for too many years.
