Masterworks of Animation: Ghost in the Shell

The next film in our Masterworks of Animation series is 1995’s Ghost in the Shell. An early anime export and a seminal piece of cyberpunk fiction, Mamoru Ishii’s Ghost in the Shell frequently takes top slots in best-of-animation lists. Like most great cyborg lit, the sci-fi opus concerns itself with existential questions about what it means to be human. Rated: TV-MA
