Roujin Z
Directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo
Produced by Tokyo Theatres Company, Sony Music Entertainment
A cyberpunk meditation on human dignity and care that pits technological efficiency against emotional connection, wrapped in mecha action and anime spectacle.
Mr. Takazawa, an elderly invalid who is cared for at his home by Haruko, a young nursing student, is chosen by the Japanese Ministry of Public Welfare to test the Z-001, a computerized hospital bed with robotic features that allegedly displays more efficiency and skills than any human nurse, but Haruko mistrusts a machine unable to consider human feelings.
