Dir. Taro Rin Japan 2001 This eye-popping anime employs the latest digital technology to create a vividly detailed cityscape in a wild elaboration on the1926 Fritz Lang film. Based on the classic manga by Osamu Tezuka and written by the anime legend Otomo (Akira), Metropolis portrays a retro-future world where humans exploit robot workers. The evil mastermind Duke Red has employed a mad scientist to build a lifelike robot named Tima with which he can control humanity. But Tima gets loose and it's up to a detective's assistant, Kinichi, to protect her. Their odyssey takes them to the city's lower depths where the downtrodden robots live, work and plan an uprising. Accompanied by a swing-era soundtrack, the result is highly original. (Original Japanese version with English subtitles; 107m) |
