1. Nirvana

Director: Gabriele Salvatores

Release date: 1997

IMDb rating: 6.0/10

Country of origin: Italy

Nirvana is a story of a game designer, Jimi, whose latest creation Nirvana, a virtual reality game, is soon to be released. Solo, Jimi’s virtual avatar in Nirvana, gains self-awareness due to a virus attack three days before the launch date and starts questioning the purpose of its existence. The movie depicts Jimi’s quest to overcome the existential crisis, free Solo from the virtual reality he has built, and eventually prevent the game from becoming accessible to the public.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Nirvana was quite ahead of its time, as it leaves the audience with several ponderings. In addition, the intertwining of Jimi’s virtual and real-world touches on several philosophical sub-plots, like nihilism, existentialism, and the need for survival, making it more interesting to watch.
