“A stunning work of animation artistry and a compelling metaphysical inquiry into what constitutes humanity and machine.”
— Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

KPAC presents the brand new 4k restoration of GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE as part of our Absolute Anime series. In the year 2032, Batô, a cyborg detective for the anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, investigates the case of a female robot–one created solely for sexual pleasure–who slaughtered her owner. Acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii pushes further into the world and concepts first developed in his groundbreaking film Ghost in the Shell, considered one of the most important and iconic anime films ever made. With its thought-provoking speculations on artificial intelligence, which have only become more relevant in our present world, GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE celebrates its 20th anniversary returning to cinemas in a lustrous new 4K restoration. Dubbed in English.

Rated: PG-13 | 1 hr 40 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / Film Pass
