A remastered re-release of the Japanese animated feature “Akira” shows just how long societal trauma can last, Dan Webster says. -
This week, "Movies 101" will be discussing two films from Asia. One is the animated science-fiction mind-bender Akira, a 1988 release that is enjoying a remastered re-release. And the other is Hope, a Korean live-action film that belongs to the monster-vs.-human sub-genre of sci-fi. -
