Thanks Dennis. I would have LOVED to have seen this or any Kon film in a theatre. The animation is just so immersive and deep that it must have been a magical experience. Nice reviews, too. Love the Tokyo Godfathers review, especially.

Excellent review! I still remember walking out of my Chicago hotel room at night several years ago and stumbling across a theater showing MILLENIUM ACTRESS -- what a revelation! And the DVD extras are excellent as well. I always recommend this to anyone I think might be interested in a good Japanese film.

Excellent Review! Perfect Blue was amazing & really toyed with my brain. Paprika was one of the best Anime movies I had ever seen & imho, surpasses films like Akira. I definitely need to check out both Millenium... & Tokyo Godfathers. Might I suggest watching(if you haven't already) The Girl Who Leapt Through Time(also by Madhouse) as that was a brilliant film as well with stunning artwork & a wonderful soundtrack. I'm a firm believer that these movies are brilliant pieces of work. They leave me with more fufillment & satisfaction than 90% of the live-action crap that's released by Hollywood. It's a real shame that they don't get the spotlight & screen time over here in the US as they do in Japan. Again..Excellent Review!
