As the director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) descibes - "it might be a military myth".
Avalon is a story of game players set in a dystopian future told with the sympathy and understanding that only another player has. Shades of eXistenZ but with a gentler subtlety. As visually lavish, for all its starkness as 'City of Lost Children' or 'Delicatessan'. See it for the score alone. Avalon, where the spirits of heroes go to rest.
