Fandango At Home Double Feature Pairings
Films that pair perfectly with Akira
Ghost in the Shell
1995
Anime that changed cinema. Cyberpunk, consciousness, and bikes.
Paprika
2006
Japanese animation at its most ambitious. Two films that redefined what animation could do and say.
Blade Runner 2049
2017
Science fiction as sensory overload. Two films so dense with visual information you will still be discovering things on your tenth viewing.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
1989
Bodies refusing their boundaries. Two late-80s films about physical transformation so extreme it becomes a philosophical statement.
