    Editorial Reviews

    Groundbreaking animator Satoshi Kon (whose credits include Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, and Perfect Blue) directed this visually spectacular adaptation of a science fiction novel by Yatsutaka Tsutsui. Atsuko is a psychiatrist who uses advanced technology to study the human mind. Atsuko has developed a machine that will allow her to enter the dreams of her patients and study their psyches from the inside. Atsuko also does double duty as Paprika, a high-tech detective who uses this new innovation to find out the truth about what the people she's trailing really think. However, Atsuko falls victim to a thief who steals the one-of-a-kind machine, and Paprika sets out to find it as a wave of psychological instability tears through the city. Paprika received its world premiere at the 2006 Venice Film Festival. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    April 13, 2009: This film continues the director's fascination with the mixture of dream and reality that is also on display in Millenium Actress and Perfect Blue. The three films are almost a trilogy of past, present, and future.

    The visuals are a great blend of cel and CGI animation, especially the opening credits. I think these are dazzlingly inventive. The music is wonderful and plays a great part in the overall design.

    I Also Recommend: Perfect Blue, Sennen Joyu.
