GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995)
[GŌSUTO IN ZA SHERU/KŌKAKU KIDŌTAI] [攻殻機動隊]
In the year 2029, a cat-and-house game is underway between cybernetic agent Motoko Kusanagi and the Puppet Master, a mysterious hacker wreaking chaos on the net. What at first seems like a simple criminal case turns into a philosophical exploration of self-identity, the nature of reality and the dangers of an interconnected online world. Director Mamoru Oshii's lean, 82-minute neo-noir thriller is a landmark achievement in the world of anime, a film whose intricate themes and hardcore cyberpunk imagery left a mark on a generation of filmmakers. DIR Mamoru Oshii; SCR Kazunori Itō; PROD Yoshimasa Mizuo, Ken Matsumoto, Ken Iyadomi, Mitsuhisa Ishikawa. Japan/U.K., 1995, color, 82 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. NOT RATED
