A new 4K restoration of 1993 Japanese animated film Ninja Scroll (獣兵衛忍風帖) will play in Pittsburgh on October 4, 5, and 7.
In this anime film, Jubei, a highly skilled ninja, is coerced into slaying his own clan of warriors. After begrudgingly killing his fellow swordsmen, he becomes a roving hired assassin. During his travels, he must face off against an organization of demonic ninjas known as the Devils of Kimon, who are plotting to take power of Japan's government. The Devils will stop at nothing, and have the power to annihilate entire villages. Now, only Jubei and a shogun spy named Dakuan can stop them.It plays locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront, the Cinemark theater in Robinson, and the Row House Hollywood in Dormont, and tickets are available online. The Row House Hollywood is located at 1449 Potomac Ave. (map), one block south of the Potomac T Station.
