In this episode, our first dedicated to a director, we explore Satoshi Kon's vision, creative genius and most importantly, his commitment to portraying the female perspective in each of his films through his exquisitely complex heroines. Join us as we explore three of his films: The dreamlike Paprika (2006), the reality-bending Millennium Actress (2003) and the increasingly disturbing psychological thriller, Perfect Blue (1999). Which one surprised us the most? And why is it that western cinema often copies the style of Satoshi Kon’s films but not their substance? Listen all about it here!
