Millennium Actress is my favorite film of his. Every time I watch it I notice something different, understand more and more the intricate weave that is Chiyoko’s (the main character’s) lifelong struggle.
Perfect Blue wigged me out. A lot. Talk about your creepy stalker movies! Tokyo Godfathers is host to a strange cast of characters (go team hobo!) while Paprika… may have gone over my head a little. Gonna have to watch that one again, that’s for sure. Oh Satoshi Kon, why you be so Trippy? Anyway, here’s to many more!!
