Headfirst Editor's Pick
"The Cube’s anime season marches boldly on, swerving all clichés with this maximalist visual feast from Masaaki Yuasa. Already set to become a 21st century classic, Mind Game’s daring collage of styles and narrative modes make for an unforgettable psychedelic headtrip - Studio Ghibli this ain't!"

Mind Game: Dir. Masaaki Yuasa, 2004, Japan, 103 mins, Cert: 15
Buckle up and prepare yourself for an exhilarating, bizarre, and wildly entertaining avant-garde head-trip from Masaaki Yuasa, director of Night is Short, Walk on Girl, Lu Over the Wall and The Tatami Galaxy. This may well be like nothing you’ve ever seen before…
Nishi has always loved Myon since they were little. And now as adults, he wants to pursue his dream of becoming a manga artist and marrying his childhood sweetheart. There's one problem, though. She's already been proposed to and thinks Nishi is too much of a wimp. But upon meeting the fiancé while at her family's diner and accepting him as a good guy, they encounter a couple of yakuza, only to have Nishi grasp a certain revelation. And, with his newly acquired look on life, adventures abound as he, Myon, and her sister, Yan, escape the yakuza into a most unlikely location where they meet an old man...
Mind Game is the third film in The Cube's Anime Season.
