  CasshernCasshern Import live action / POP culture films on DVDAudio: JapaneseSubtitle: Eng/JapCasshern (??????) is a 2004 tokusatsu science fiction film written and directed by Kazuaki Kiriya. It stars Yusuke Iseya as Tetsuya Azuma/Casshern, Kumiko Aso as Luna Kozuki, Toshiaki Karasawa as Burai, Mayumi Sada as Saguree, and Jun Kaname as Barashin.
The film is based on a 1973 anime television series, Shinzô ningen Kyashân (translated as "Neo-Human Casshan" and known as just Casshan in the United States) from animation studio Tatsunoko Productions. Along with contemporary films Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Immortel: Ad Vitam, and Sin City, it was among the first feature-length live action films to be shot on a "digital backlot," with the actors performing in front a greenscreen and all but the simplest stage elements added digitally after the fact.
In general terms, the film is a fairly complex dystopian tale always trying to operate on two levels. Several scenes are very stylishly laid out and the visuals of the film are designed to impress. The Japanese release contains a 6.1 channel soundtrack (Dolby Digital 5.1 on the Region 2 release) and English subtitles, which, while not as bad as many subtitling efforts, does make comprehension of the plot more difficult for English speakers.
The theme song, "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro", was written and sung by the director's wife, Japanese pop singer, Hikaru Utada.
