Mind Game (2004) – A Wild, Surreal Ride with James 🎬

In this episode of Emma of the Impact Podcast, I’m joined by the fantastic James as we dive into one of the most unique and mind-bending animated films ever made—Masaaki Yuasa’s Mind Game (2004).

This film is genre-defying in the sense of visuals: it is a chaotic, and deeply emotional journey that pushes the limits of animation. We explore the difference between plot and narrative, gender roles, and the existential themes expressed visually.
