    Paprika

    Opens May 25 in NY, June 1 in LA.

    Looks very interesting. Was shown in 06 at the NY film festival but missed it

    "Paprika," directed by Satoshi Kon (Japan)

    Satoshi Kon's new anime plays like a head-on collision between Hello Kitty and Philip K. Dick. The plot starts with a machine that lets therapists enter patients' dreams: When it's stolen, all hell breaks loose, and only a woman therapist (nicknamed "Paprika") seems able to stop it. Kon is a brilliant director by any standard and as the characters shuttle from dream to dream, nightmare to nightmare, Paprika becomes a thrilling tour-de-force of visual invention--every frame is packed with imagination. This delightful movie is bursting with ideas about Japanese repression, multiple identities, collective dreams and the dark side of his countrymen's love of Cute.

    I thought it was pretty good. If you liked Paranoia Agent, it's directed by the same guy (and I think animated by the same studio) and is about as easy to follow.

    DVD comes out on 5/23 in Japan, so fansubs probably won't come out until a bit after that.
