pluralstories"Implanting dreams into other people's heads is terrorism."
Blurb: Japanese animated movie about a group of therapists working on an experimental device that allows people to enter each other's dreams. When the device is stolen, reality starts unraveling like a cheap sock. The title character is a therapist's headmate who does the dreamwork, while the therapist handles the "real" world.
Why is it worth your time? It's really good. Kon was (RIP) a master of mashing reality with animation. The trippy imagery, thoughtful concept, and sheer density of visual imagery makes this movie better upon subsequent rewatches; we notice something new every time. The music is also great. Plus, you know, sometimes you want to watch a multi save reality with psychological agility.
Plural Tags: switching, no abuse discussion, a LOT of realitymashing/dreamworld stuff
