Neill Blomkamp

Here’s a collection of the excellent work of District 9 director Neill Blomkamp. Bladerunner was the first movie to take sci fi into cigarette-butt-floating-in-styrofoam realism but Blomkamp’s sensibility adds a further twist, with documentary style footage used in conjunction with excellent CGI. The setting of some of his work in South Africa also adds something really interesting. The familiarity of the environment from news footage and the careful placing of the narrative within that world create a very authentic feel;
