SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like THX 1138, it traps an individual inside an impersonal, incomprehensible system, using stark architecture, alienating sound, and escalating bureaucratic nightmare logic rather than conventional action.
02
Why this pick
Its totalizing bureaucracy, dehumanized citizens, and doomed desire for human connection closely echo THX 1138, though with a more baroque, darkly comic visual assault.
03
Why this pick
This cool, nocturnal dystopia similarly imagines a society where feeling and individuality are forbidden, rendered through spare spaces, cryptic rules, and a dreamlike sense of oppression.
04
Why this pick
A sleek, chilling study of a man seeking safety in conformity, with controlled compositions and emotional repression that resonate with THX 1138’s institutionalized loss of self.
05
Why this pick
Its deadpan world of compulsory social rules and monitored behavior carries THX 1138’s absurdly rigid social control, while preserving the same unsettling distance from ordinary emotion.

01 / THE STORY
In the 25th century, sexual intercourse and reproduction are prohibited, whereas use of Psychoactive drug is mandatory to enforce compliance among the citizens and to ensure their ability to conduct dangerous and demanding tasks. Emotions and the concept of family are taboo. Everyone is clad in identical uniforms and has shaven heads to emphasize uniformity, except the police android (robot)s (who wear black) and robed monks. Instead of names, people have designations with three arbitrary letters (referred to as the "prefix") and four digits, shown on an identity badge worn at all times.
