#073: (Pt. 2) The Matrix / Ghost in the Shell (2017)

from The Next Picture Show · host Genevieve Koski, Keith Phipps, Tasha Robinson & Scott Tobias

In this half of our discussion of the “weird conceptual sandwich” that is THE MATRIX and GHOST IN THE SHELL, we puzzle over why the latter hyper-stylish, cerebral film fails where the former succeeds. The two films ultimately have different aims, but their approaches are surprisingly similar — though it’s how they differ that’s most telling. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.
