>>5704863That is a very interesting observation Local Lord! I can see your point, people do want escapism although I quite like urban deprivation homeless people derelict buildings aesthetics hehe. It is actually weird because Watch Dogs (completed the first 2, I have not played the newest London one) by Ubisoft comes very close to the urban graffiti parkour, there is not really enough believable violence in those games though (and the second San Francisco one has silly 3d printed guns, I was not impressed by those).
I actually have not watched any French cinema for a long while now, not since Juliette Binoche got a bit old and wrinkly hehe, I used to quite like her. I was going to watch that film Titane (2021) because it sounded like JG Ballard Crash but apparently it also has TERRIFYING BODY HORROR TRANSGENDER THEMES so far too scary for me.
