GitS: Innocence
I'd forgotten how much I love this movie (and the first Ghost in the Shell, too). I'm not a big fan of the original manga by Shirow Masamune, and the Stand Alone Complex series just leaves me disgusted, but I truly love Mamoru Oshii's interpretations of the story and characters. His interest in Hans Bellmer's work becomes really apparent in this opening sequence, for anyone who is familiar with Bellmer's doll photography.

I really need to buy copies of both films, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I haven't seen innocence, but every time I see the first movie I always think how I would leap at the opportunity to put my brainbox in a cyborg body...

And you can absolutely see the Hans Bellmer influence here. I was so stunned when you first showed me his work, because it seems to inspire so many things.
