Paprika description
Based on a novel by the noted Japanese science fiction writer Yasutaka Tsutui, the brilliant and unsettling feature Paprika continues director Satoshi Kon's exploration of the disturbingly permeable boundaries between dreams and reality. Techno-geek Kosaku Tokita invented the DC Mini to allow therapists to enter a patient's dreams and explore his unconscious, but an evil cabal uses the Mini to create a mass nightmare that causes multiple suicides. Psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba uses her alter-identity, "dream detective" Paprika, to intervene. Entering the nightmare, she witness a bizarre parade of appliances, toys, and kitsch objects: All of her intelligence and imagination are needed to escape this nightmare and its perpetrators. As he did in Millennium Actress and Paranoia Agent, Kon effortlessly carries the audience between reality and fantasy, confirming his reputation as one of the most talented and interesting directors working in animation today. (Rated R: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon |

Paprika is a marvel!
A gorgeous anime that pushes the envelope of cartoon writing and design to a very sophisticated level, Paprika is both thrilling and heartwarming from the get go to its satisfying conclusion.
Though employing many standard anime conventions, director Satoshi Kon reimagines these in frames overloaded with a rich detail that escapes description and invites repeated examinations, in 2 weeks I've watched Paprika 4 times.
The basic plotline is an interesting one that I imagine Hollywood will purloin eventually...
The English language actors are not identified, that I could determine, but I believe I detected Leonard Nimoy as a significant character voice.
I recommend this terrific film and its soundtrack to your attention.
