A cyber-dystopia where your dreams might be the only escape — if you trust the guy named Orpheus.
It's the year 2099 and the globe is engulfed in the same cataclysmic events that nearly brought the world to an end in the 20th century - wars, plagues, conflict and corruption. In place of the governments, multinational corporations and religious institutions of the 20th century is the Overlord, a global despot who rules the world from behind his computer mainframe. But one man has a plan to destabilize this nightmarish existence with a simple question: What if reality was a dream and your dreams could be reality? Orpheus, played by Michael Raven, is the man, and Millennium is one of Raven's masterworks. The Danish sex bomb Katja Kean stars in this chilling preview of the future.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released in 2000, this is pure Y2K-anxiety cinema — the 'Overlord' fears dial directly into millennial tech panic.
Michael Raven directed and starred, making this his magnum opus of cyber-erotic-philosophical ambition. The 'chilling preview of the future' copy was apparently written by someone who hadn't seen The Matrix.
