Synopsis

“THE RED SPECTACLES tackles some well-worn fears of authoritarianism yet refracts them through Oshii’s unmistakably strange, singular vision. What was once a misunderstood black comedy is now being reconsidered as a legendary and provocative part of Oshii’s filmography. And its feverish depiction of dystopia somehow rings truer, as madness becomes an ever more normal part of our daily lives.” —Screen Anarchy
