SATOSHI KON PAPRIKA STORYBOARD BOOK SC

(A) Satoshi Kon (CA) Satoshi Kon

The highly-received movie Paprika became the posthumous film of the early-deceased talent, Satoshi Kon. This is the first book of his storyboard design representing his unique talent. This publication, long-awaited by Kon fans and cinephiles, contains all the storyboards and behind-the-scenes documents of the critically acclaimed animation movie, Paprika. Its fragmental and fantastical images stunningly reproduce the world of the novel written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. The feature interviews with Kon and Tsutsui are also included, followed by the talk with the executive director of the production company, Madhouse. This will be the absolute textbook for film direction.
