Paprika (2006)


A Japanese animated fantasy by Satosji Kon.
A dream sharing technological device has been stolen from the laboratory where it is being developed. A woman who works there has a heroic alter-ego named Paprika that she becomes in dreams and hallucinates in real life. One of the engineers is hospitalized and the other is extremely fat. There is also a cop working on a murder case who is involved with the dream device. It's complicated.
Oh yeah! This is a keeper! The plot is complex and intelligent and so are the characters. The animation style is pretty standard, but very good. There is even a Dragonball Z reference. This is one you need to see to understand how cool it is. I captured an image from the film and it's a little odd. The character has breasts, but no vagina, a classic anime omission. I'm rating it awesome.
