Review of Urbania

Urbania (2000)
9/10
Spooky, engrossing movie with great cinematography
16 June 2000
I loved this movie. I can't say too much about it, because it is filled with flashbacks, leading to the revelation of the true reason why the lead character (Charlie?) is pursuing a handsome, homophobic cretin, who he eventually picks up at a bar in New York. The movie keeps you guessing, and it treads on the intersection between sex and violence. Charlie is disturbed, but you don't quite know why until the end of the film. The film has a jittery quality, like Pi, with disparate and dissonant music heightening the tension. I found myself quite satisfied when I left the theatre. The movie sticks to your ribs.
