Innocence
Didn't feel like going out tonight, so I went to the Shinagawa IMAX theatre to watch Innocence, the new film from Mamoru Oshii.
It's... Well, it has the most beautiful, painstakingly detailed matte paintings, very complex 3D imagery, a deep, yet completely incomprehensible script (Japanese only, no subtitles :), one of the more disturbing dream sequences I've ever seen, classical Japanese animation, a mind-blowing musical score, naked female sex robots with guns and kung-fu skills, a magical atmosphere to boot, and the heartbreakingly cute dog.
It's beautiful. I pity the fool who downloads and watches this on a laptop. See it in a theatre.
Update: Check out the trailer.

I like dogs more than robots. I'm kinda funny that way.

What's the finnish title for the movie? I wonder when (if ever) it'll be on the finnish theaters..

I have no idea. I'm hoping that it would be on the Love and Anarchy festival next September.
