Masterpiece of the pre-computer era...

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2002)

Astonishing, breathtaking, prophetic. I first watched Akira in the big screen, nearly twenty years ago, in the company of my kid and his mates (by then 8 yrs old) and was shocked with the depicted violence in the big city social relations. Just as with A Clockwork Orange, nowadays reality more or less confirms those "predictions" except for the nuke war (until today...)
