The Wachowski sisters’ cubist pop-art tribute to the visual style of anime: a propulsive sugar rush of a movie whose mind-boggling visual innovations were long misunderstood because of its open-hearted populism. Will Speed Racer (that is his name) prevail against corporate corruption, ninjas, and the laws of physics themselves?
“It is pure movement, a plastic experiment that does not look like anything that has been done before” – John Tonies, espinof
“It [takes] Godardian notions to places where even Godard might never have dreamed of taking them” – Glenn Kenny, Premiere.com
Tickets include a half price $5 entry to a special Speed Racer themed gig at The Metro by Passion Pop Music.
