If you love surreal japaneze animations (think Spirited Away and The Cat Returns), you're going to love this!

IMDB on Paprika

I saw it last night and,although some parts are OVER japanized (the music f.e.),the dream sequences got me all pysched!

Best animated film I saw in a while! I highly recommend

Trailer looks Awesome. I am half way through watching the director-Satoshi Kon's series- Paranoia Agent, which is a sly and disturbing series indeed.

I'm kind of unimpressed- not with the quality of the animation, that looked pretty fun. I guess it bothers me how over-trippy and, to me, inaccessible conceptually, most anime movies like that seem. Call me ignorant but I don't get the appeal of the story or the presentation of the story.

However, I liked the part where the businessmen took off like synchronized divers
