The studio behind The Animatrix presents this visually striking anime treat based on the successful manga and directed by Michael Arias (the first non-Japanese to direct a major anime). On the streets of Treasure Town a couple of orphan brothers find themselves at odds with the local yakuza who seem intent on taking over the city. Brutal, beautiful and with its heart firmly in the right place, Tekkonkinkreet deserves the huge international attention it received.
