What You Need To Know:
Though mind-mending, PAPRIKA is not as visually impressive or involving as one of Satoshi Kon’s previous work, MILENNIUM ACTRESS. The characters are also not as captivating, including the lackluster heroine. PAPRIKA also contains some action violence, cartoon nudity and a few sexual references, so extreme caution is advised.

More Detail:
PAPRIKA is a bizarre Japanese animation based on a Japanese science fiction novel.
In the story, Dr. Atsuko Chiba is a genius psychotherapist who enters her patients’ dreams via a new device called the “DC Mini.” Dr. Chiba’s nerdy, overweight colleague, Dr. Tokita invented the device.
One of the prototypes is stolen and several of the researchers of Dr. Chiba’s lab start to go mad, including Dr. Chiba’s research boss. She brings her boss back to reality by invading his dreams as her therapeutic alter-ego, Paprika. She soon finds, however, that someone is trying to invade the dreams of Dr. Tokita and one of her patients, a homicide detective.
Eventually, Dr. Chiba discovers that the chairman of her company is trying to control everyone’s dreams and take over the world. She must figure out a way to stop him before the real world and the dream world become one, and the chairman is the only person left.
