Memories
Anime · 1995
Three back-to-back anime films by three different directors make up this sci-fi trilogy three years in the making.
The sides of Memories
- A salvage crew inside a wrecked space station
- A lab worker who becomes a walking poison cloud
- A city that lives only to fire its cannons
Memories is good for you if…
- you like three animation styles in one film, from opera ruins in space to a city of cannons.
- you like a man who doesn't notice that his smell is killing everyone around him.
- you like a ghost story in a station full of an opera singer's memories.
Memories is bad for you if…
- you don't watch anime.
- you can't stand a haunted space station where memories turn into traps.
