Ghost in the Shell director’s lost sci-fi movie gets rare 4K re-release this fall

Most fans know Mamoru Oshii for Ghost in the Shell or for directing the first-ever OVA, 1983’s Dallos. But the project closest to his heart is the Kerberos Saga, a passion he’s explored across anime, manga, and live-action film. Its centerpiece, The Red Spectacles, was… not well received upon release in 1987. But a 4k remaster spearheaded by Oshii himself has already been reintroduced to Japanese audiences and is now receiving a theatrical re-release from GKIDS on Nov. 21 in New York. One can only imagine a physical release is on the horizon of this essential curio.
