Subtle masterpiece

Directed by Oshii, so, simultaneously a action-packed cyberpunk thriller, and a reflection on the human nature. Same as the original manga, one could argue, but with less gratuitous nudity. No insult to the author, but sometimes lesbian orgies do distract from the flow of the narrative. I'll admit that Oshii introduces non-gratuitous nudity (is clothing enough to make a (wo)man?), but hey, it's intellectualized, but it's OK. Visuals are top notch, soundscape is fantastic, highly recommended.

Uninspired copy

Best part are purely visual, frame-for-frame copies of Oshii's animated movie. Oshii uses nudity as a marker of psychological state; Johansson renounces leveraging her bountiful bosom and butts. This should leave her acting talent apparent, but I seem to have missed it. Should have opted for 4k, I might have seen it. Asbaek and Kitano (well, obviously) are solid in secondary roles. The movie may not deserve of 0 by itself, but it's bad plagiarism, and the original exists. Watch the original.

More of the same, and it's a good thing

Well, this one adds a layer of self-serving politics (or are they?) butting heads with public safety and common-sense morality. It's delightfully ambiguous. Visually more ambitious than the first movie, to its detriment : it does feel more dated. Still, warmly recommended.

Don't be deceived by the art

It looks childish, but it aged well. A techno-thriller, a subtle commentary on the clash of tradition and modernism ripping apart Japanese society, understated humour and giant robots. And all this with Oshii at the helm. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if it's yours, it's a strong brew. Also, not for the kids. Nothing offensive, but it will probably bore them out of the room.
