Avant “Matrix”, il y avait “Lain”. Née en 1998 de l’imagination et du talent de Ryutaro Nakamura (réalisateur), de Chiaki J. Konaka (scénariste) et Yoshitoshi Abe (illustrateur), “Lain” a bouleversé le petit monde de l’animation des années ’90, par son parti-pris sans aucune concession, son héroïne atypique et son scénario aux antipodes du genre : un pur délire visuel technologique!
Close the World. Open the Next. Decades before the internet was something people carried around in their pockets, these words introduced anime fans to a surreal existence where computer monitors served as portals to brave new worlds. Serial Experiments: Lain and its deceptively "ordinary" title character redefined an entire generation`s concepts of the world wide web, prompting us all to suspiciously take note of humming power lines and central processing units. Follow along as fourteen year old Lain - driven by the abrupt suicide of a classmate - logs on to the Wired and promptly loses herself in a twisted mass of hallucinations, memories, and interconnected-psyches. Close the World. Open the Next. It`s as simple as the flip of a switch.
