Graphic Content: V for Vendetta

USA 2006, 132 min, Digital, Dir: James McTeigue

It is the near future in England, and the fascist “Norsefire” party has risen to power after a mysterious global cataclysm. A young woman, Evey (Natalie Portman) is saved from an assault by a mysterious Guy Fawkes-masked man who refers to himself only as “V” (Hugo Weaving). V goes on to mould Evey, and the country itself, in his image, as he reaches back to revolutionary ideas found in England’s past in an attempt to find a better future. Graphic Content brings you a film based on the acclaimed comic series by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, and produced by the Wachowskis (The Matrix). In a time when global politics have become increasingly polarized and when citizens have flooded the streets of major metropolises in search of lasting change, Vendetta’s message concerning the dangers of unchecked governments and its meditations on the true meaning of power have become more vital than ever before.
