Paprika

A couple of nights ago, I watched a great animated film called Paprika.  I highly recommend it!  It’s very colorful and surreal, with beautiful, high-budget animation.  The storyline is strange but captivating — it’s about this girl named Paprika who navigates through people’s dreams using a device called the DC Mini, which is technology that allows people to share the same dream. 

Check out the psychedelic trailer here:

If you like the theme song from the trailer, you can download it for free (legally, I swear!).  The song is called “Byakkoya no Musume”, which translates to “White Tiger Field Girl” and is by TESLAKITE.  Yay for artists who allow free downloads of their music!

Satoshi Kon does some great work. Very surreal though. VERY VERY Surreal.

Hey Jess,

Your xanga is incredible at keeping me from my work and up late at night clicking on random links.

Anyway, this film sounds incredible. Do you know where it’s playing? Where did you watch it at?
