Boring to death cyberpunk with occasionally interesting visuals. All the cast, setting, dialogues and decorations were purely Polish and you can feel it straight from the first frames. Japan, Poland, 2001. Subsequently, in the streets of a city, super-warrior Ash (Malgorzata Foremniak) is introduced, a fearless “Class A” fighter who’s clocked up almost enough credits to move to the next level of playing. If you don’t recognise the name of its director, Mamoru Oshii, you’ve probably heard of the anime classics he lists on his c.v., most notably Ghost in the Shell (1995) and its extraordinary sequel, Innocence (2004), which must surely rank as one of the most sublimely beautiful bits of animation ever crafted: take any frame, blow it up and frame it. AvalonUnfortunately – and I say it with sincere bitterness because it sounded promising – “Avalon” did not live up to my expectations. He treats the concept of virtual reality as a philosophical metaphor, a means to question our own solipsistic interactions with the world around us. Ghost is an Avalon character, a target who appears as a young girl. It’s the closest we get to any eroticism in this non-contact world of virtual interaction. I’m no closer to a definitive explanation of what it’s all about, except to say with certainty that uncertainty is what it’s all about. An inmate at a high security criminal insane asylum escapes and ends up at a country club run by a woman with interesting culinary tastes. Or so I thought. But an ...

The only scene where Ash really cracks some smiles or works up an enthusiastic sweat is when she prepares dinner for her dog. I remember scenes like this throughout my childhood. I fight in the future (which is all a bit Polish but looks absolutely amazing thanks to some way cool tint effects) in an illegal virtual reality war game called Avalon.
It’s not a totally flawed movie… but it’s just boring. The mood and the build up to the somewhat anticlimactic ending just really worked for me.
I agree with someone elses review about it being a grown up .hack which is totally awesome. We even had a movie theatre back in Detroit in our completely Jewish Neighborhood called "Avalon". Dir. ½ June 8, 2007 This is all very well, but it does give the film a certain coldness, probably not in the service of its themes of alienation and emotional disconnect (although it certainly contributes to that), but in order to get everything neatly composed. With a planned movie reboot of the 60s time travelling detective show "Alan Strange" down at heel actor Peter Hennessey (who originated the role) receives an invitation to a New Year's Eve party with a difference. Soaking almost everything (food seems to come out quite colourful) in sepia tones adds to the vintage look (though it could also be that the US DVD has altered the colour of the film) and shows Oshii exerting an animator’s control over his images. "bring in the army hardware... and FIGHT".
The end is dominated by the music, which is powerful. There, the family and their children try to make themselves a better future in the so-called promised land.

A Polish-Jewish family comes to the U.S. at the beginning of the twentieth century. “Avalon” was a weird co-production between Poland and Japan.
In the movie my parents would have been the young adults and I would have been one of the kids. Best contribution on the tech side is Kenji Kawai’s barnstorming orchestral-choral score, in Carl Orff mode, which deserves a separate release on its own. The visuals strongly remind of the videogames of early 2000-s. I was going to just incorporate these updated comments into the main body of the text, but I didn’t want to gloss over my initial responses. Avalon (12a) If you are not a die-hard cyberpunk and virtual ritual reality fan… then no. ***** Maya H Since the film is mostly a hyper-controlled, sepia world of pristine images, and thus rather distancing, the treatment of food as the last remaining point of sensuous contact with real-world experience leaps off the screen.
