Paprika
Dir: Kon Satoshi
Japan, 2006, Japanese, 90mins, DCP
Cast: Voice Cast: Hayashibara Megumi, Emori Toru, Hori Katsunosuke
In his final experimental fantasy, Kon Satoshi explores the collision between dreams and reality in a mind-twisting, eye-tickling spectacle that has inspired Inception . Taking delirious trips through the psyche, the gripping thriller evolves as the psychiatrist heroine transforms herself into Paprika to delve into dreams and save the world from a disaster of night terrors turned real. In the dreamscapes fluidly rendered with dementedly arresting visuals, the anime master invests the imaginative world with a fascinating tension, engaging us with poignant philosophical riddles about the dilemma between our real and perceived selves.
