What is Cyberpunk?
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.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Wikipedia says it was released by Sterling Home Entertainment in the US, there is a distorted audio version available on YouTube that runs 2 and a half hours but includes the 97 minute movie with completely distorted audio in the first 97 minutes.
There might be some trick to restoring the audio but I don't know what that is.

It looks pretty fun, I'll let you know if I find something else.
Update: original danish audio with English directors commentary subtitles(getting closer): https://ww1.m4uhd.tv/watch-movie-skyggen-1998-268182.html
Fun fact: in the danish film archives in copenhagen, there's a library where you can watch this and read it's screenplay, with what looks like tons of movies for free in cinema chairs on flatscreens: https://www.dfi.dk/cinemateket/bibliotek-og-videotek/videoteket
It has been poorly dubbed into English according to Amazon reviewers of the DVD.
If you do get a copy, the original Danish with English subtitles might be the way to go.
