Satoshi Kon Interviewed On Paprika
Date: 1/22/2007
Nishi Nippon Shimbun published an interview with Director Satoshi Kon on December 27th. The Paprika Director mentioned that in foreign countries a question he often gets is "Why does Japanese Animation depict science and technology?" He adds nobody dares to pose such a query in Japan and he thought it was interesting. Original novel author Yasutaka Tsutsui saw the anime version and said the dream sequences were done very well. Kon first read Paprika ten years ago just prior to directing Perfect Blue. As for his next project, Kon says he wants to create a different type of animation that children can also enjoy with a science fiction fused with fairy tale theme.
