V for Vendetta

Another "comic inspired" movie : it looks as though the movie industry has no more inspiration (not that it has had a tremendous one recently...) and has discovered that, since several decades, generations of creative and talented authors have entertained a large audience in the comic book universe. With the special "let's spread culture" mantra, and more important "let's make big bucks with other's ideas" credo, the big majors seem decided to go over the whole american comics library, for good of for worse.
Fortunately, this one comes under the "good" category. Very visual, beautifully played, inspired, it'll make you spend a good time and, although it's a bit caricatural in its representation of religion and political power, it may give you a couple of things to think about.
