In a futuristic society, a 15-year-old prostitute named Rune Balot is rescued after being nearly killed. She is subconsciously given the choice to continue living due to an emergency ordinance to preserve life called Mardock Scramble 09. Turned into a cyborg, Balot is then given the choice of assisting the investigations against the man who tried to terminate her. He is part of the powerful October corporation that is stealthily conducting illegal activities.
This was the beginning of a trilogy. And it is also the best of the bunch. If you are into Science Fiction and themes about our soul and body … well this will be quite the treat for you. Very interesting, very complex and quite sexual too. It has an 18 rating in the UK (the Directors Cut that is). So while this is animation, this is very far removed from Pixar and other family movies.
But those who are familiar with Japanese Anime don't need me to warn them about that. They already know, so this was for the others of course. An interesting movie with many interesting motives and many interesting twists and ideas. The cliffhanger at the end is quite nearly placed too …
