Synopsis: Vincent Gallo is the voice of Roger, who befriends supermodel Nina (Juliette Lewis) in order to help him gain some self-control in his predictable and microscoped life. He lives in Farsta, a Stockholm suburb, in the distant future when the world has become a terrifying and dark place to live, as it runs out of its oil supply. The globe has become connected via underground networks, which Roger does all he can to avoid, as he begins to hear voices in his head once he steps into the dim world below. The Swedish animation is "depressingly beautiful," full of gloomy settings and intriguing characters, and a story that is like "1984 with subways." Unfortunately, no North American release date has been set yet for Metropia.
