The Bigger Picture, presented by The British Film Institute

The Matrix, the Nineties and searching for The One

Whoah. The Bigger Picture logs on for series 3. This episode we're plugging into The Matrix, the Wachowskis' cyber-hacking kung-fu smacking techno western. Anna, Hen and Pete see through the 1s and 0s to discover how the film - 20 years old this year - has aged, work out what it got right about the internet and argue about whether it's a really a love story between Morpheus, Neo and their online dating profiles. There may be a spoon. The Matrix is screening at the BFI Southbank as part of the BFI's Nineties season.
