Twenty years later, V for Vendetta still feels like one of those films that refuses to stay in the past. Directed by James McTeigue from a screenplay by The Wachowskis, and adapted from the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, the 2005 film starred Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, Stephen Fry, and John Hurt in a dystopian story that somehow keeps sounding louder every time the world gets noisier. It’s a political thriller, an anti-superhero movie, a revenge story, and a warning all at once, and that strange blend is a huge part of why it has endured.
