The Red Spectacles
March 11 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
New Restoration!
Mamoru Oshii鈥檚 first live-action feature is a delirious fusion of science fiction, film noir, and political satire. Returning to Tokyo years after a failed rebellion by his elite Kerberos police unit, K艒ichi Todome finds a city warped beyond recognition: a paranoid surveillance state where noodle stands are illegal, loyalties shift like shadows, and reality itself seems to fray. Bleak, absurd, and hallucinatory, The Red Spectacles launches Oshii鈥檚 legendary Kerberos Saga with a heady mix of dystopian intrigue and surreal black comedy.
(Mamoru Oshii, Japan, 1987, Japanese w/ Eng sub, 116 min, DCP)
