They’re like miraculous acid trips that turn the world inside out and leave behind a slimy, gnarled wake of candy-coated destruction.” - Simon Abrams, New York Press This past August, Satoshi Kon’s many admirers around the world received the shocking news that he had died of cancer, at the age of 46. Beyond being one of the greatest directors of animé films, Satoshi Kon was simply one of the most exciting cinematic storytellers of our time. "Kon-san made a visit to the Walter Reade Theater in 2008, on the occasion of a retrospective of his films and a gallery exhibit of his artwork. He was a delightful guest, with a quick smile and full of interesting insights into his work. His untimely death robs us all of an enormous talent and unparalleled imagination. This brief tribute is our way of saying thank you for your wonderful art, that will be with us forever." - Richard Peña, Program Director Double Feature Package! See both films for only $18!

			Perfect Blue Satoshi Kon, 1998, Japan, 81 min. Pop singer Mima Kirigoe leaves her girl group at the urging of her agent to take a stab at a career in acting, beginning with a part on the psycho-thriller TV series Double Blind. The show’s writer devises a scheme to change the public perception of Mima, but the new persona doesn’t sit well with at least one loyal fan, who seems bent on bringing back the old Mima by any means necessary. The growing confusion between Mima’s own life, her role on Double Blind and her existence on a fan’s blog introduces the idea of identity as commodity, a theme that Kon continued to explore in his later films.

			Paprika Satoshi Kon, 2006, Japan; 89m “Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood’s use of animation as a kiddie pacifier.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone No other filmmaker tackles the anxiety and fragmentation of contemporary Japanese life with more wit and sophistication than Satoshi Kon. His most recent film, Paprika, “plays like a head-on collision between Hello Kitty and Philip K. Dick. The plot starts with a machine, the DC-Mini, that lets therapists enter patients’ dreams. When it’s stolen, all hell breaks loose, and only a woman nicknamed Paprika seems able to stop it. This delightful movie is bursting with ideas about Japanese repression, multiple identities, collective dreams and the dark side of the country’s love of Cute.” — New York Film Festival 2006.
