Memories ( Katsuhiro Otomo ) - at the Savoy

From the creator of AKIRA, Katsuhiro Otomo, comes an anthology of three unforgettable animated tales.

Episode 1: Magnetic Rose

Alone on a mysterious ship in deepest space, she waits. Once a beloved diva, she is now nothing more than memories. And for unsuspecting travellers that respond to her beacon, she will be their undoing.

Episode 2: Stink Bomb

A junior scientist gets the flu, and decides to try out some newly developed pills. But he takes the wrong ones, turning him into a walking, talking, and exceptionally clueless weapon of mass destruction.

Episode 3: Cannon Fodder

A day in the life of a small family in a big city. In this city, there is only war. There are no dreams, there is only labour. And there is no god, only a gigantic cannon.

MEMORIES features incredible animation from Studio 4°C (The Animatrix, Mind Game) and Madhouse (Death Note, Ninja Scroll, Paprika) and boasts a thrilling, wide-ranging score which spans opera, jazz, funk, techno and orchestral composition.

The tales collected here are based on short stories by Otomo, drawing upon science-fiction, horror, screwball comedy and political satire. Don’t miss this rare chance to see an amazing anime anthology up on the big screen!

In Japanese with English subtitles.

Please note there will be no trailers before this event and MEMORIES will begin after a brief introduction.
