Racing hasn't changed, and it never will! Based on the classic manga and anime, and directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski of the Matrix trilogy, this 2008 CGI feast for your eyeballs is a classic you don't want to miss. Speed Racer, whose family owns the mom-and-pop Racer Motors, is so great on the track that he's received a huge offer from the power-hungry Royalton Industries, the same corporation which has been fixing all the races! Determined to stay loyal to his family and race the good race, Speed Racer decides to zoom into the very same competition that killed his brother, in order to beat the evil executive E.P. Arnold Royalton.

Bijou Film Board is a nonprofit, student-run organization dedicated to the exhibition of independent, foreign, and classic cinema.
