Cinema loses another master, Satoshi Kon

Post by EvaUnit02 »

RIP Satoshi Kon, aged 46.

He was a terrific filmmaker. I was a big fan, loving all of his films which I had seen. The landscape of cinema won't be the same without him.

Damn, that's a shame. Didn't recognize the name, but do recognize the movies, although I haven't seen them yet (fell asleep after 5-10 minutes when I tried Paprika...)

From what I hear they're gonna finish the film this year, using notes left by Kon.

Thought they might, I'm a lot less interested in it now that he's not making it though.
