MONTHLY CLASSICS
Fri., Oct. 7, 7 PM
In an alternate near-future, a revolutionary technology called the DC Mini allows a group of researchers, led by the brilliant Dr. Atsuko Chiba, to enter and record the dreams of psychiatric patients. When the prototypes are stolen, however, the dream world starts crashing into reality with increasingly disastrous effects. Aided by a trauma-stricken detective, Dr. Chiba sets out to track down the thief. The fourth and final film by the late, great Satoshi Kon is a culmination of the groundbreaking director’s visual style and a crowning achievement of Japanese animation. Screening in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the film’s release.
2006, 90 min., 35mm, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. Directed by Satoshi Kon. With Megumi Hayashibara, Toru Emori, Katsunosuke Hori, Toru Furuya, Akio Otsuka.
