Satoshi Kon does not fail to impress.
on November 26, 2007
Posted by: hakuza
from Atlanta
First of all, I'm a huge fan of Satoshi Kon so I had extremely high expectations for this movie, and I was most certainly not disappointed. I was fortunate enough to see it at Anime Weekend Atlanta, a very large anime convention held here in Georgia. The opening scene gives you the same breathtaking experience as Paranoia Agent's in that way that it makes you feel as if you're having a religious experience, haha! Susumu Hirasawa did the opening music and his voice together with Satoshi's art/directing goes together like Peanut butter and Jelly. I won't go into detail about the plot, of course, but like all his films, the story flows at perfect pace. The film is also constantly transitioning between dream and reality... it's just fascinating.
If you love Satoshi Kon's other movies like Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, and Perfect Blue, his recent work Paprika will not disappoint you. Please purchase this movie. Please don't just download it and view it on your crummy Winamp player or whatever it is you use. Anyway, I hope everyone else enjoys this film. Thank you for reading.
What's great about it: Stylish, edgy, always some dark touches, same brilliance as old movies.
What's not so great: I first saw it in a crowded, loud, sweaty convention room sitting next to "that guy". -_-
I would recommend this to a friend!
