REEL ODDITIES:
Speed Racer (2008)
A film that wasn’t everyone’s speed upon its initial release now makes its Reel Oddities debut by popular vote! A spectacle deserving of its reappraisal! Born into a family business of race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track’s hot stars. Sitting at the wheel of his Mach 5, he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries, he uncovers a secret. An imperfect masterpiece and a future art house classic! Hyperbole or hyper amazing? You decide! Vroom-vroom!
Dir: Lilly Wachowski & Lana Wachowski / 2008 / US / 135 min
