One of my favorite movies in recent memory. I watch all of Yuasa's stuff, been watching since Mindgame. This movie has outstanding music, particularly if you are a fan of queen or Michael Jackson. Themes of transcendence and power through music and performance. Again, some of the most interesting animation from this top tier animator and director.
