October’s movie is Blackberry.
Chronicles the rise and fall of BlackBerry, focusing on the Canadian company that revolutionised the smartphone industry before being overtaken by competitors.
“The genius and hubris of the tech industry collide in this wildly entertaining account of the dramatic rise and fall of the world’s first smartphone.
Mock-documentary specialist Matt Johnson takes us back to the mid-90s and to the beginnings of BlackBerry’s wild ride to cultural ‘CrackBerry’ ubiquity. Loosely based on the 2015 tell-all book Losing the Signal, the film delivers a slyly satirical and frequently uproarious look at the creative chaos of the tech world as the geeks inherit the Earth.”
