Hirune Hime The Movie: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari DVD (English/Cantonese Dubbed) Anime
This fender and genre-bending film takes us into
the not-too-distant machine-driven future. Kokone should be diligently studying
for her university entrance exams, but she just can't seem to stay awake.
Aside from stealing precious study time, her napping is even more distracting,
as it brings on strange dreams with warring machines that hint at family
secrets that have been dormant for years. She can't ask her father, a hipster
mechanic more talented and artful than his job requires, as he's always busy
modifying motorcycles and cars in flights of fancy. What are these visions
that lead Kokone at once closer to and farther away from her family? Like
all the best anime, the film revels in multilayered fantasy to show how sometimes
opposites—waking and dreaming, the past and the future—are far
more intertwined than they appear. |
