Paprika

Paprika is a spicy girl of your dream. In fact, she is literally the girl IN your dream!

Dr Chiba and her assistant, Dr Tokita have found a way to enter into your dreams in this animation science fiction flick. Using the DC Mini, Dr Chiba transformed into Paprika and provides treatments to her patients through dream therapy. Inspiration gives birth to new technology which becomes a source of power.

As fate has it, three DC Mini prototype has been stolen. All dreams are slowly trickling into a big illusion and crossing the boundary between dream and reality. Will Paprika solve the mystery and save the day?

The animation is an eye opener to the possibility of technological intervention. You will be dazzled by the power of subconscious mind and deprived dreams. It does make one wonder if everything at hand is truly a case of child's play, ie a child trapped inside the body of an adult. It is a pretty amazing and mind blowing animation for me as I did not set any expectation of what I might find in this Japanese creation.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. An impressive movie which is truly out of the world. A must-watch for Japaneses animation and sci-fi fans!
