SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

In the distant future, hot-blooded, old-fashioned racer JP competes in Redline, a race to determine the fastest car in the galaxy. Alongside gifted mechanic Frisbie and fellow racer Sonoshee, he navigates friendship, love and high-speed competition in Takeshi Koike’s hand-drawn science-fiction adventure, seven years in the making.

“I have a habit of falling asleep during our midnights at IFC Center (which is OK!) so I picked a movie that I could not possibly fall asleep to. If you like bright colors, flashing lights, adrenaline, and / or SPEED RACER (2008), then this is the movie for you.”
