023. Watch 20 movies in the cinema (2/20)

I love the story behind this movie - something quite dark and sinister with a love story laid over the top. I hadn't read anything about this movie, or the book it's based on, which I'm really glad for because I think it helped me to enjoy it a lot more.

Some elements of the movie reminded me of two books I read in school for my English Literature A Level. The concepts of creating life from 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley and then controlling life and death in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by George Orwell.

I'm going to add 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro to my list of books I want to read during my 1001 days.
