About the film
There's nothing sadder than a puppet without a ghost.
What it’s about
In a near-future world where cybernetic enhancement is widespread, a woman known as the Major is the first of her kind: a human saved from a terrible crash and rebuilt as a perfect soldier. She leads an elite police unit tasked with stopping the most dangerous criminals. When a hacker known as the Puppet Master begins interfering in politics, her squad is ordered to investigate and stop him.
What hooks you
Scarlett Johansson stars as the Major, with Pilou Asbæk as her partner Batou and Takeshi Kitano as their chief Aramaki. Its tagline reads: “They did not save your life. They stole it.”
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys cyberpunk worlds where technology blurs the line between human and machine, or who likes detective stories with a philosophical edge.
