"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back." We watched "Gattaca" from 1997, directed by Andrew Niccol and we're suddenly feeling less than... perfect. Imagine a place where everyone looks like Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law and you've got the genetically manipulated world of Gattaca. Being surrounded by all these ridiculously goodlooking people might be annoying in person, but it's business as usual in this film where genetically manipulating unborn children is the norm.  In the "not too distant future" depicted through a retro-futurist lense we get the clean lines, chromed out details and mid-century modern design that we immediately latched on to when we first saw this movie. Our three annoyingly beautiful leads fit in perfectly in this meticulously crafted world. Uma Thurman looks like a photograph in every shot, Ethan Hawke has never looked better and Jude Law... baby Jude Law really makes you understand why he was the most in-demand actor in Hollywood in the early 2000's.  Don't be mistaken - these three genetically gifted humans are more than just pretty faces - they act the hell out of this movie. Ethan and Jude are giving bickering married couple - we were chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" in more than one of their scenes together - and Uma takes what could be a thankless role and really shines. Gattaca is an allegory for anyone who has ever felt "othered" by society wrapped in a cool sci-fi package.
