The Red Spectacles

Fucked up and trippy. Nothing like Jin-Roh, despite the same writer/director.

Oshii brings his manic sense of humor from Urusei Yatsura to a live action, black and white dystopia. Think Alphaville, but in Japan. If you've seen Jin-Roh and are expecting more of the same, you'll be bewildered.

i don't get this kind of movies. to me, they are one nonsense after another and nothing really makes sense. if there would be somehow a story line you could fallow, but this movie jumps just all over the place. not enjoyable at all, very painful to watch. but i promised to watch all of this trilogy.

This is a surreal look at (among other things) the friendships between three disgraced officers; the situations that drove them apart; and the bond that brought them back together.
