AN UNPRECEDENTED ANIMATED CULT

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2020)

An unprecedented cult in the history of cinema. Akira hits straight to the mark with an overwhelming and enigmatic story, allegorically shedding light on some significant aspects. Living in a dystopian world, Akira succeeds with the impeccable and original direction of Katsuhiro Ôtomo, expressing his potential to the fullest, laying the foundations for all the films that came after and to come. While watching, it's easy to forget that it is an animated film, but something that goes beyond all comprehensions. Perfect.
