Immortal (French: Immortel, ad vitam) is a 2004 English language, French produced live-action and animated science fiction film, directed by Enki Bilal and loosely based upon his comic book La Foire aux immortels (The Carnival of Immortals). It was one of the first major films (along with Casshern and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow) to be shot entirely on a "digital backlot", blending live actors with computer generated surroundings. The French video game studio Quantic Dream helped produce much of the cinematics.
Synopsis
The film takes place in New York City in the year 2095 where genetically altered humans live side by side with unaltered men and women, and where Central Park has been mysteriously encased in an "intrusion zone" where people who attempt to enter are instantly killed. A strange pyramid has appeared over the city; inside, the gods of ancient Egypt have judged Horus, one of their fellow gods, to cease his immortality.Actors

Dans une dictature imaginaire d'un monde futuriste, une importante rébellion éclate, causant le renversement du régime en place. Comme prévu en cas de besoin par leur bien-aimé président, un homme prévoyant, les hauts dignitaires fuient et se réfugient dans le lieu convenu en pareil cas, le Bunker Palace Hôtel. Ce refuge est une œuvre de l'architecte et ingénieur Holm. Ce refuge ingénieux est à la fois un bunker construit profondément sous terre pour protéger ses occupants et un palace digne de ces hauts dignitaires habitués à un luxe ostentatoire. À leur arrivée, les uns après les autres, en fin de cavale malgré un trajet périlleux, les ex hauts dignitaires sont accueillis par Holm. Mais ils ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises : étrangement le président tarde à arriver… Qu'est-il advenu de lui ? Va-t-il arriver ? Est-il mort ? Les a-t-il abandonnés ? Sans leur chef, leur guide, les occupants du Bunker Palace Hôtel sont dans le désarroi et la confusion.

Quelque part sur la Lune, s'érige une colonie poussiéreuse, grossière réplique d'un Paris délabré, chaotique et divisé par un mur rappelant le mur de Berlin. Le Dictateur Mac Bee règne d'une main de fer sur la cité mais un étrange mal le ronge, lui et ses fils, les condamnant à une mort certaine. Leur seul espoir, retrouver Tykho Moon, le mystérieux donneur potentiel. Mais c'est sans compter l'œuvre dévastatrice de tueurs implacables qui, combinée à la maladie, pousse peu à peu le vieux dictateur décadent et son clan dans la folie.

In a future post-apocalypse Earth in the year 2293, the human population is divided into the immortal "Eternals" and mortal "Brutals". The Brutals live in a wasteland, growing food for the Eternals, who live apart in "the Vortex", leading a luxurious but aimless existence on the grounds of a country estate. The connection between the two groups is through Brutal Exterminators, who kill and terrorize other "Brutals" at the orders of a huge flying stone head called Zardoz, which supplies them with weapons in exchange for the food they collect. Zed (Connery), a Brutal Exterminator, hides aboard Zardoz during one trip, temporarily "killing" its Eternal operator-creator Arthur Frayn (Niall Buggy).

The film begins with an introductory sequence involving the main characters and images from space and introducing many of the film's visual leitmotifs. These are motifs of virtually still images revealing the key elements of the film: Justine the bride in deep melancholy with birds falling behind her; of a lawn with trees and sundial with two different shadows; Pieter Breughel's Hunters in the Snow (often used as interpretation of an idealised nostalgia) burning; the non existent 19th hole (limbo) and the Black Horse collapsing catastrophically in slow motion (Id, ego and super-ego battle); Justine as a bride being swept along by a river; and her being held back by her wedding dress; and finally Justine and her nephew building their magic cave before the Earth crashes into Melancholia becoming one.

The film begins with on-screen captions explaining that a medical breakthrough in 1952 has permitted the human lifespan to be extended beyond 100 years. It is narrated by 28-year-old Kathy H (Carey Mulligan) as she reminisces about her childhood at a boarding school called Hailsham, as well as her adult life after leaving the school. The first act of the film depicts the young Kathy (Izzy Meikle-Small), along with her friends Tommy (Charlie Rowe) and Ruth (Ella Purnell), spending their childhood at Hailsham in the late 1970s. The students are encouraged to create artwork, and their best work gets into The Gallery run by a mysterious woman known only as Madame (Nathalie Richard). One day, a new teacher, Miss Lucy (Sally Hawkins) quietly informs the students of their fate; they are destined to be organ donors and will die, or "complete", in their early adulthood. Shortly afterward she is sacked by the headmistress (Charlotte Rampling) for her revelation. As time passes, Kathy falls in love with Tommy, but Ruth and Tommy begin a relationship and stay together throughout the rest of their time at Hailsham.

Macy stars as the COB (chief of the boat) on a fictitious US Navy submarine, the USS Swordfish (although there were two actual submarines named USS Swordfish that served the US Navy during and after World War II, neither are represented by the sub in this film). While on patrol in the North Atlantic, the ship is ambushed by two German U-boats. Swordfish destroys one of them, but is critically damaged by a torpedo fired from the second one, the fictitious U-boat U-429 (again, there was a real WWII German submarine U-429, not actually represented in the film). Eight members of the American crew escape and are held prisoner on board U-429. However, the American executive officer had previously contracted meningitis and given it to his captain, who brought it aboard the U-429. Within days, over half the German crew, as well as some of the Americans, contract the disease and die. Although the Germans and Americans begin to work together to keep the boat operational, not all the U-boat crew is willing to go along with this arrangement. Also, another U-boat and an American destroyer (the fictional USS Logan, not related to the actual attack transport of that name) threaten to overwhelm their tentative truce.
