Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Can't even seem to find it now. It was a non-English film. Eastern European, I think. Most of it was shot in sepia tones. It's about people who put everything into a virtual reality game. Build their whole lives around playing it.
The protagonist makes a fantastic meal for her cat while eating slop herself.
Was probably from the early 2000s. I think I watched it because I ran across a review of it and it happened to be orderable on Netflix DVD.
Since someone else just mentioned this movie, is it possible you were thinking of Avalon (2001)?
That's the one!
