FILM FRIDAY: Akira (1988)

Edited by Jason Chan, Señor

So technically Katsuhiro Ôtomo‘s 1988 anime isn’t a “film”.  Worse still, it’s an anime movie.  But this cartoon’s got it all: double-breasted suits, 1970s Tom Verlaine/Richard Hell get-ups, and lots of stuff for the leather daddies out there.  This Film Friday, let’s take a look at Akira.
