"For two weeks between March 26 and April 10, four of Satoshi Kon’s most
acclaimed films will be available to stream, for free, online. The Japan
Information & Culture Center (JICC), Embassy of Japan, and the National Museum
of Asian Art are co-presenting a retrospective event in honor of the
influential director/animator. Also available will be a 2021 documentary,
The
Illusionist, by the French director, Pascal-Alex Vincent. All films are
available via the JCC by clicking here:

Even if you don’t know who Satoshi Kon is, you have probably watched a film
inspired by his work. The late animation writer/director is especially well
known for four films;
Perfect Blue,
Millennium Actress,
Tokyo Godfathers,
and
Paprika. In particular,
Paprika was cited as an inspiration for
Christopher Nolan’s
Inception and Darren Aronofsky included an homage to Kon
in
Requiem for a Dream. Other films that filmmakers have described as
inspired by Kon include
Into the Spiderverse,
The Girl Who Leapt Through
Time, and
Black Swan."
Highly recommended! Via Susan ****
