Metropolis at Revival House Perth
Experience Rintaro's stunning 2001 anime masterpiece that brings Osamu Tezuka's manga to breathtaking cinematic life! Set in a towering future city divided between the wealthy elite who live in luxury and the oppressed workers toiling in the depths below, this visually spectacular film follows young Kenichi and his uncle as they search for the mysterious scientist Dr. Laughton.
Their quest leads them to Tima, an advanced android girl who holds the key to either salvation or destruction for Metropolis. As revolution brews in the city's lower levels and political machinations threaten the delicate balance of power, Kenichi and Tima form an unlikely bond that will determine the fate of all humanity.
Combining traditional hand-drawn animation with cutting-edge CGI, Metropolis creates a visual feast that pays homage to Fritz Lang's silent classic while telling its own unique story. The film's exploration of class struggle, artificial intelligence, and what it means to be human feels remarkably prescient in our modern age.
Featuring an incredible jazz-influenced score by Toshiyuki Honda that perfectly complements the film's retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Presented in Japanese with English subtitles on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
