The Glass Fortress is a 2016 French film based on the 1921 Russian novel We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. Zamayatin was partly influenced by Jerome K. Jerome's 1891 essay The New Utopia,[4] as well as by the writings of H.G. Wells, who, at the time, was a popular apostle of a scientific socialist utopia.[5] The Glass Fortress is a film adaptation of the Russian novel, and was directed by Alain Bourret.[1][2][3] The film presents a world of harmony and conformity within a united totalitarian state.
