1984 is a 2023 Finnish-Russian sci-fi dystopian black comedy drama film directed by Diana Ringo.[1] The film is based upon George Orwell's 1949 novel of the same name.[2][3] It also includes references to Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel We.[4]

Plot

In a grim and stifling society dominated by the omnipresent figure of Big Brother, individual liberties are a distant memory, swallowed up by constant surveillance. Art is scorned and fantasy is deemed a perilous affliction. Amid this oppressive landscape, a brilliant mathematician[5] finds himself entangled in a forbidden affair with a fellow intellectual. In a world where freedom is slavery, and any opposition to the iron rule carries deadly consequences, he faces a difficult choice: whether to join the resistance against the all-powerful Big Brother or remain an obedient citizen of the United State.

Production

The film is the third feature film adaptation of the novel 1984 by George Orwell. It is dedicated to the 120th birth anniversary of George Orwell.[6]

It was shot in Moscow. 1984 is an independently produced film made without Russian government support or other government funds. Ringo has said in an interview to David Ryan (author of George Orwell on Screen) that she wished to make a film which would show the humorous and satiric side of "1984". When writing the screenplay, she was also influenced by the novel We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, which served as inspiration for George Orwell when he was writing 1984. Orwell praised the novel We, of which he also wrote a review in 1946. We has a similar plot and atmosphere as the novel 1984.[7]

The film's entire soundtrack was composed by Diana Ringo.[6]
