By far and away his little known manga, " Opus" is in my top three graphic novels. It is literally sitting on my desk right now. I flip through it often. The images of the main character falling into his comic story gives me chills. When I watch Paprika so many emotions get stirred up. The transitions in that film are mind melting. I think the good folks at Animation Obsessive just sent me down another Satoshi Kon rabbit hole.
Thanks for doing all the research and sharing the details of Dreaming Machine! It's fun to think about how that film could still come to life with the right people involved. Fingers crossed.
Haha, awesome to hear we've inspired you to dive back into Kon's stuff again! His manga, especially, is so under-studied. And it would be amazing if more of Dreaming Machine was released, eventually. If nothing else, just the storyboards would offer us a lot, given the complexity of Kon's boards.
Gosh, Satoshi is incredible.
