2008, dir The Wachowskis w/Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon, 135 min, 35mm
Nothing short of a living cartoon, the Wachowskis’ SPEED RACER is an action-packed adaptation of the famous 1960s manga and anime series. Emile Hirsch stars as Speed Racer, an adventurous race car driver who fights to preserve the art of racing in the face of corporate interference and corruption. Filled with candy-colored, kaleidoscopic visuals, its full-on devotion to the aesthetic of the original material was a little too much for reviewers upon its release, but the film has since gained a reputation as being ahead of its time.
A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 8:30PM screening of JUPITER ASCENDING. No additional purchase is necessary.
