Memories DVD

MEMORIES DVD - From Katsuhiro Otomo, acclaimed creator of Akira, comes this animated masterpiece - three short stories compiled together as a series of "Memories." In Magnetic Rose, director Morimoto Koji (The Animatrix) weaves a science fiction tale of love, loss, and the unwillingness to forget, while Kawasaki Hirotsugu (Spriggan) unleashes Stink Bomb - a tongue-in-cheek story of a chemical researcher who unwittingly transforms himself into a human biological weapon set on a direct course to Tokyo - and Otomo, himself, launches Cannon Fodder, an ambitious, introspective tale depicting a day in the grim life of an industrialized city whose sole purpose is to constantly bombard its enemy with cannons. Approximate running time: 113 minutes.
