Synopsis

Another visually sensational animated film from the producers of the acclaimed "Akira."
Major Motoko Kusanagi is a beautiful cyborg who works for Section 29, Japan's secret police force, in the year 2029. Motoko's supervisor, Aramaki, orders her to find Puppet Master, a sinister computer terrorist created by a rival organization.
Helping her is fellow cyborg Bateau and the almost entirely human agent Togusa. Because their prey has the ability to hack into the minds of his enemies, the evil villain must be stopped as soon as possible.
But as the tough cops close in on their target, Motoko realizes that she and Puppet Master seem to have a lot in common.

Review

Sight and Sound, 01/01/1996, p.39, "...Richly imagined....Slick and visually dazzling..."

Entertainment Weekly, 06/21/1996, p.76, "...A knockout vision of a machine-run cityscape..."

Total Film, 12/01/2003, p.130, "...[With] a Disney-bashing level of detail, prolonged musings about the human soul and an eye-saucering hard line in action..."

Uncut, 12/01/2003, p.159, "Sublimely realised, intellectual ponderous, cheesy fun."

Title Note

Shown at the 1996 Berlin and South by Southwest Film Festival.

James Cameron, who directed such science fiction movies as "The Abyss" and both "Terminator" films, had this to say of "Ghost in the Shell": "Stunning... the first truly adult animation film to reach a level of literary and visual excellence... an important visionary work."
