My friend introduced me to Satoshi Kon years ago with Millenium Actress and Perfect Blue. I really enjoyed the films very much, but never really thought much into it's creator. Just this past winter she encouraged me to watch Paprika. I loved it.
We were both looking forward to more of his work when yesterday I saw a tweet about his death. Clicking on the link I learned that he had pancreatic cancer. I immediately told my friend about this news.
