TekkonKinkreet
Barus & Holley 190, 7PM This Saturday (10/6)
This week we are screening a brand new addition to our library called Tekkonkinkreet, released on DVD last week after a limited US theater run. Created by Studio 4°Celsius, it is the first mainstream Japanese anime release to be directed by an American. Studio 4°C is one of the most visually inventive animation production houses in the world, and is responsible for past Anime Society favorites such as Memories, Sweat Punch, and one of the best Animatrix shorts, as well as the 2004 movie Mind Game. The animation is like nothing you’ve seen before, the film is beautiful. See you on Saturday!
From Anime News Network:
Black and White are two orphans who roam the streets of Treasure Town, beating down any thug or yakuza who gets in their way. When mysterious foreign entrepreneurs appear with the intention of tearing down Treasure Town and replacing it with an amusement park, Black and White face their greatest adversaries yet. It is up to the destructive Black to save the fate of the city and up to the gentle White to save Black from his own dark nature.
