A Conversation with Satoshi Kon Friday, June 27, 2008 at 6:15pm A screening of Paprika (Japan, 2006; 89m) followed by a conversation with Satoshi Kon featuring onscreen highlights of his work. Admission for this special event is $15 public and $12 member/student. Paprika Satoshi Kon, Japan, 2006; 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. Kon is a brilliant director by any standard, and as the characters shuttle from dream to dream, nightmare to nightmare, Paprika becomes a thrilling tour-de-force of visual invention — every frame is packed with imagination. 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. Encore Screenings of Paprika on Mon Jun 30: 4 and Tue Jul 1: 2:30 & 9:10 ~ at regular Walter Reade Theater prices ($11 public, $8 senior, $7 member/student/child).
