    If you've heard of Satoshi Kon, odds are pretty good you'd agree he was one of the most exciting and unique voices in animation and even cinema generally before his tragic early death.

    If you haven't heard of him, Kon was an anime director whose small but very rich body of work has had a significant and acknowledged impact on films like Inception and the work of Darren Aronofsky. Over a mere four full features (and a TV series and some short films) he established himself as one of cinema's great dreamweavers and experimenters. At the centre was a real love and knowledge of what makes cinema tick, most powerfully perhaps in the stunning and moving Millennium Actress (a fictionalised love letter to both Setsuko Hara and classic Japanese cinema)

    Whatever camp you fall into, this short video essay is an informative and affectionate tribute to the unique editing style of Kon. Those familiar with his work might pick up on some stylistic subtleties they might have missed, while it's a good primer for anyone yet to see Kon's films.

    As an added bonus, the essay also include Kon's beautifully short and sweet final film Ohayo - I know I hadn't seen it before, so it was a very welcome treat at the end of the video :)

    Makes me wish that the Dream Machine will be finished one of these years :(
