"A mind-twisting, eye-tickling wonder" —New York Times

Details About the Film

This film is part of the series High Frequencies

A dream machine goes missing in this surrealist cinematic invitation into a shared collective unconscious. Borderline balderdash, Satoshi Kon’s final film infamously incepted Christopher Nolan’s Inception and, most importantly, reaffirmed the infinite creative freedom of anime.
