Presented in the original Japanese with English subtitles.
Long ignored outside Japan, MIND GAME is now regarded as one of the century’s great animated experiments, influencing modern anime aesthetics.
It begins with a failed artist shot by gangsters and explodes into a psychedelic odyssey through the afterlife, the belly of a whale, and the limits of imagination itself. KĹŤji Morimoto and Masaaki Yuasa blend multiple animation styles into an ecstatic statement about creativity and self-belief.
It's not your typical anime, and tells the story utilising a range of incredibly innovative animation techniques including:
• Hand-drawn, sketchy linework
• Photorealistic character faces
• Boldly stylized color palettes
• Shifting frame rates and visual distortion
• Mixed-media collage and rotoscoping
• Symbolic abstraction
The film’s tone shifts from absurd to profound without warning, celebrating human potential through chaos and color.
It's a must see on the big screen with even bigger sound for any true fan of Anime.
