Our take

Ranked among the most influential anime of all time, Satoshi Kon’s haunting masterpiece erects a psychological house of mirrors filled with eerie hallucinations and murderous doppelgangers. A prescient parable on the price of celebrity and the commodification of the female body in the digital age.
