Metropia

Metropia is a 2009 Swedish adult animated science-fiction film directed by Tarik Saleh. The screenplay was written by Fredrik Edin, Stig Larsson, and Tarik Saleh after a story by Tarik Saleh, Fredrik Edin and Martin Hultman. The film uses a technique where actual photographs have been altered and heavily stylized in a computer program, and then animated. The visual style is inspired by the works of Terry Gilliam, Roy Andersson and Yuriy Norshteyn. A futuristic look at a terrifying Europe where the world is running out of oil. A gigantic underground network is created by joining all the... various undergrounds together underneath Europe. Roger from a suburb of Stockholm avoids the underground because he finds it disturbing. Sometimes when he is too near the underground, he hears a strange voice in his head. One day Roger stumbles upon the truth that his life is controlled in every detail. In order to break free he combines forces with super-model Nina . The story and supporting material were developed by Stockholm-based Atmo during a period of four years before the actual animation work had begun.
