Ghost in the Shell
Dir: Oshii Mamoru
Japan, 1995, 83 minmins, DCP
One of the most influential Japanese anime of all time, Oshii Mamoru’s groundbreaking vision of a futuristic Hong Kong has spawned a vast franchise of films, manga and TV series that continues to this day. The films iconic heroine – naked cyborg super soldier Major Kusanagi – wrestles with her own ambiguous identity while on the trail of an elusive hacker known as The Puppetmaster. Her mission explores the escalating synergy between humanity and technology, while questioning the very essence of sentient existence. Featuring an intoxicating score from Kawai Kenji and some of the most accomplished hand drawn animation ever rendered, Ghost in the Shell is a crowning example of cyberpunk sci-fi, and 20 years on endures as one of cinema’s most prophetic visions of the future.
