Artist's commentary
Murphy's Irish Stout - Last Orders (1997, UK)
A rare occasion in which Japan is commissioned to produce a British advert for Irish beer, following the release of Ghost in the Shell in the UK. Six samurai dash through a futuristic megalopolis to get to the pub on time, in a high-octane sequel to the Brothers Quay's spot from a year prior.
Directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo, though some sources claim it to be Mamoru Oshii, at Production I.G. for Nexus Productions. Art was provided by Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Kazuchika Kise.
