Special limited season to celebrate Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence's 20th Anniversary at Luna Leederville - Screening Thursday, August 22 to Wednesday, August 28!With the honour of being the first (and only) anime in history to compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Mamoru Oshii’s masterpiece captivated both critics and audiences alike. This visually stunning sequel continues the story of cyborg detective Batou as he investigates a series of gruesome murders committed by malfunctioning sex robots.
20TH ANNIVERSARY! In the year 2032, the line between humans and machines has been blurred almost beyond distinction. A string of murders perpetrated by a prototype android model has drawn the attention of Public Security Section 9, a unit specializing in counter cyber-terrorism. With none of the victims' families pressing charges, suspicions arise regarding the nature of the androids and their production company.
In the course of the investigation, the almost entirely cyber-bodied agent Batou, and his still human partner Togusa embark on a journey through a technological dystopia, taking on ferocious Yakuza thugs, devious hackers, government bureaucrats, and corporate criminals to uncover the shocking truth behind the crime.
As they uncover the truth, the film explores profound themes of humanity, consciousness, and the blurred lines between man and machine.
