Mind Game (2004)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0452039/

You've heard the hype before, but trust us when we say that MIND GAME is one of the great animated films of all time.
Produced by STUDIO 4°C (who did the animation on the recent STEAMBOY), MIND GAME couldn't be more different from the slick giant robots, mega-sized guns, and short-skirted schoolgirls that have come to be associated with Japanese anime in the minds of Westerners.
A stream-of-consciousness, surreal succession of sight gags, shifting art styles, and animation so alive it looks like it's being drawn right before your eyes...
MIND GAME is all about life, and how to live it.

This award-winning film is a journey of self-discovery based on Japan's cult underground comic "Mind Game" by Robin Nishi.
The story follows Nishi himself through the life experiences that directly inspired the semi-autobiographical "Mind Game" comic.
As a college-age loser addicted to porn and aspiring to write seedy adult comics, Nishi aspires to overcome his addiction to perversion in a tale that is lighthearted yet painful and touching.
What starts off as an innocent meeting between old friends quickly turns into a psychedelic extravaganza, filled with violence, sex, love, redemption, and the infinite possibilities of the human mind.

Director Masaaki Yuasa rejoices in experimental animation techniques, filling the screen with virtuoso wackiness, mixing in rough lines and storyboards, then inserting photographic touches.



Fast and funny, smutty and sexy, bizarre and hypnotic. It's a movie that exists to remind us that life is a miracle...
