009 Re: Cyborg

Nine people are captured and transformed into cyborgs with enormous powers. But they rebel against their creators in the name of justice. After their efforts facilitate world peace, they disappear from public awareness. Almost thirty years later, skyscrapers worldwide are hit by suicide bombers. The cyborgs gather again to fight against the mysterious evil. But society has changed, as has the idea of justice. So what is the role of the cyborgs now? Director Kenji Kamiyama offers us an epic animation in a grand style, set against an urban background of concrete and metal. There’s even a bizarre but convincing reflection on man's relationship with God. cb

This film is in 3D. Remember to bring 3D glasses, or buy them at the counter.

Japanese Kenji Kamiyama (b. 1966) started his career with several independently published projects before he joined Studio Fuga. Having made his mark in visual design, his film debut came in 2002 with Mini Pato. He later wrote and directed the TV series Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C.
