Напрегнати светове: Ерик Ку и Йошихиро Тацуми (или за диалога между филмите на сингапуреца и комиксите на японеца)
The Tense Worlds of Eric Khoo and Yoshihiro Tatsumi (or about the dialogues between the films by the Singaporean and the comic strips by the Japanese)

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents and examines the animated feature Tatsumi (2011) by Eric Khoo, screened within the 16th edition of Sofia International Film Festival. Contemporary Singaporean film is unfamiliar to Bulgaria as well as Manga (Japanese comics) culture in the classical work of Yoshihiro Tatsumi. It is terra incognita here. Tatsumi is Eric Khoo’s animated debut. Or, to be more precise, it is a double biopic of a kind both of the artist’s work and of the author of the movie himself. The two have a number of tangential points. It will not be far fetched to say that the film by the Singaporean and the comic strips by the Japanese are having a dialogue of a kind between them. Who Eric Khoo and Yoshihiro Tatsumi are and what are they conversing about with each other on the screen?
