Review of Memories

Memories (1995)
10/10
3 Tantalising Stories
30 August 1999
Warning: Spoilers
Part 1: Magnetic Rose Unsuspecting space freighter crew responds to a mysterious SOS signal and gets ensnared by the bizzare past of a galactic opera star. Has touches of Kubrick's 2001 in the "museum"-like settings.

Part 2: Stink Bomb Most accessable segment of the lot. Hapless biolab assistant Nobuo's desperate search for a cold cure has dire and comedic consequences for his collegues, Japan and eventually the US top brass.

Part 3: Cannon Fodder Most surreal of the 3. Citizens of an unnamed country go about their daily lives serving the countless number of cannons protruding out of every roof-top and window. Question is... who is the enemy? Excellent art direction and innovative use of perspective CG.
