Anime king
Mamorou Oshii (GHOST
IN THE SHELL, etc) joins Kenta Fukisaku (X-CROSS
and BATTLE
ROYALE 2) for a movie of nothing but the "good parts." This
is a collection of four short stories - or more correctly, four climaxes.
Who needs a convoluted plot when you can cut straight to the chase· Four
different filmmakers quickly develop stories (for example, the first one
deals with a swordweilding girl who attempts to rescue her kidnapped sister
from a sadist) and then deliver a balls-to-the-wall action denouement.
Here is a
brilliant, stunning, award-winning Japanese masterpiece that NEEDS
to be seen by all fans of the genre.
A
Japanese film; original widescreen format (16:9), uncut (88 minutes)
in DVD encoded for ALL REGIONS NTSC, playable on any American DVD machine;
in Japanese language with optional English or Chinese subtitles. Extras
include the original theatrical trailer..
