Casshern

2004, Movie, 2h 21min

Fifty years of war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa - now merged as Eurasia - have taken their toll on planet Earth. As a result of the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, much of Earth has become uninhabitable and people have become prey to new diseases. Professor Azuma's "neo-cell" project, which is supposed to be the answer to mankind's hardships, becomes a nightmare come true when mutants spawned from the experiment escape and declare war on the human race. Azuma's son Tetsuya, who was killed during the previous war, is reborn into the cyborg Casshern as mankind's last hope against the new mutant threat. This live-action sci-fi movie based on a 1973 Japanese animé of the same name.

Visually, it's astounding. Rejecting the hyper-realistic burnish of Lucas-like CGI, Kiriya dirties his images, saturating colours in some scenes (...) all the while embracing fantastic impossibility.

In a post-apocalyptic future, the world has been devastated by a 50-year war between the Eastern Federation and Europa. The Federation emerges victorious, but the planet is left scarred and polluted. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Azuma, discovers a way to regenerate human tissue using a new type of cell, but his research is met with resistance. When his son Tetsuya is killed in combat, Azuma uses the cells to bring him back to life. However, Tetsuya's resurrection comes with a twist: he now possesses superhuman powers and becomes the last hope for humanity against a new threat - a race of mutants created by Azuma's research.
