About
You can watch Ghost in the Shell (1995) on Hoopla with a participating library card.
In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as 'The Puppetmaster' begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster.
Neon-drenched streets and rain-slicked shadows create a haunting, meditative atmosphere that feels both lonely and claustrophobic. This philosophical cyberpunk vision questions where a soul begins when the body is nothing more than replaceable hardware.
