For as vibrant as this film is with its imagery this is dark as hell, which is something I suppose is a norm for Satoshi Kon’s work. He looks at animation in a different way than what I’m used to. Sure he understands the possibilities that come with the medium in terms of interesting character design and abstract locations. But he also understands the ways at which you can use surrealism in a more naturalistic way. For as confusing as this was at times it always felt intentional and, more than anything, realistic. I wouldn’t even say I was confused, I was just lost. But in a cool way, ya know? I think once I rewatch—because I’ve never been more positive that I missed most of the point—I’m sure I’ll love this even more.

Hmm…I definitely vibed with the animation, sound design, direction, editing, all that good stuff. But to me, this lacked the emotional investment needed for one of these kinds of intentionally confusing and disorienting films to work. Perfect Blue managed to be more overwhelming to the senses AND more emotionally impactful by perfectly getting you into its protagonist’s fractured headspace. This, by comparison, felt stretched in far too many directions for me to really connect with anything going on. I also don’t really get the Inception comparisons – yes, people invade other people’s dreams, but that’s sort of where the plot similiarities end. Inception may lack an emotional core to some extent, but it has the benefit of an enthralling clear-cut…

Was confused by what the blu ray box meant by ‘contains sexualised violence’ until he stuck his fist in her vagina and reached all the way up to her brain and pulled her skin off. unrelated, this is a fucking masterpiece

Paprika filmi benim için izlerken hem çok ilginç hem de biraz garip hissettiren bir film oldu. Başta konusunu tam olarak anlayamasam da ilerledikçe filmin aslında sadece rüyalarla ilgili olmadığını, insan zihni ve bilinçaltı hakkında da çok şey anlattığını fark ettim. Gerçek ve rüyanın sürekli birbirine karışması bazen kafamı karıştırdı ama bence filmi güzel yapan şeylerden biri de buydu. Filmde en çok dikkatimi çeken şey, rüyaların bir teknoloji sayesinde kontrol edilebilir hâle gelmesi fikriydi. Normalde rüyalar sadece insanın kendi içinde yaşadığı…

“Don’t you think dreams and the internet are similar? They’re both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents” Wow! What a film, I’m left kinda speechless, hopefully my next watch I’ll have more to add but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this!! 🙂 “It’s hard to build a case against a dream.”

LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD!!! This is genuinely an underrated masterpiece and I’ll try to make a short review but I know it won’t be possible. To start simply, this movie makes you question whether this was all a dream from the start. The reveal that the dreams and reality started to mix was pure genius, that doll that seemed so childish and at the same time so terrifying with that laugh makes you believe that they’re still stuck in a…

Very very interesting film, will probably watch the film again in order to fully grasp it but I thought it was a good way of exploring the idea of the line between dreams and reality merging. A reoccurring thing was this idea that we don’t want a good dream to end, and I think that was also shown through the imagery of the internet and films, escapism through dreams and media. And then in the climax we see the reconciliation…

اكثر الافلام الانميشن الي احب اتابعها من بعد ميزاكي، هي افلام ساتوشي الفكرة والرسم والموسيقى الي تعلك بالبال كلشي جان مضبوط ومصنوع بشكل تحفي صح نولان ماخذ فكرة منه بالفيلم مال انسبشن بس اختلاف جذري بين قصتين وشخصيات وحتى طريقة الاحلام

Un puñetero 5 estrellas a esta obrita maestra. Inception a su lado se queda muy cortita. No os cuento más, tenéis que verla y punto chicas.

Cada obra de Satoshi Kon que veo me deja más confuso que la anterior, pero estoy convencido de que este puede ser el mejor director de animación de la historia. Paprika es una obra de los sueños, es una obra del cine y es una obra del amor. La animación y cinematografía de esta obra aplasta completamente cualquier otra obra animada que haya visto y podría estar en un top 10 y la banda sonora debe estar ahí arriba también…

Un acierto seguro es entender este tipo de cine a todos los niveles. Y siempre hay la opción de revisitar para madurar las ideas previas.

A film that truly captures the dream like quality of movies. Such an inventive and smart story. It feels like this was made by someone with much much more to say. Satoshi Kon’s loss is so incredibly sad. Being able to see all of his films up on the marquee in the final scene is the perfect punctuation to an all too short lived career.

I mean pretty fucking nuts. Christopher Nolan definetly watched this and was like let me take a crack at this concept. Everyone I’ve ever talked to about this movie claims that it’s better than Inception and to be honest the only thing comparable to the films is the core-concept and since they came up with it first, sure. But outside of the controversy this movie is beautiful and does a great job exploring gluttony and greed through so many of…

Really weird and interesting movie, visuals are amazing and the music is great. It was completely necessary for the plot that there be a naked woman, as is expected when I watch any anime.

I need a 2 hour long video essay about all the japanese societal issues that are adressed during the final parade because I saw like the references to the high number of suicide, the men taking picture up the girls’ skirts and some other stuff but there’s so much going on and I really need someone to point out every detail for me lol cause I’m too oblivious

Visual madness deserving to be seen. It is easy to get lost in such a crazy and colourful mayhem but it’s loaded with exciting originality, now I understand why they describe it as an ideological base for Inception script (even a bit more I would say). But don’t expect skipping another anime apocalyptical closing.

اشوف ان الاحلام والافلام متشابهه جدا كلها وسيله للهروب من الواقع والدخول لعالم ثاني الفيلم عبقري وما اشوف ابدا انه مبالغ في مدحه خصوصا انه من اخراج ساتوشي كون المخرج الي تميز باسلوبه السريالي وقدم شي مختلف بعالم الانمي الفيلم يتكلم عن اشياء كثير لكن اكثر فكره شدتني هي الهروب من الواقع هو مايقول الهروب غلط بالعكس يوضح ان الاحلام شي مهم ومحتاجينه كلنا لكن اذا عشت فيها اكثر من اللازم تبدا تضيع منك الحدود بين الحلم والواقع وتنسى الاشياء…

Locura de ciencia ficción que usa el mundo onírico para reflejar los limites de la conciencia donde el desarrollo se va creando entorno a una investigación criminal. Es algo densa por el mensaje que transmite pero también deja varios momentos muy originales y caóticos.

Il y a un petit côté matrix (99) et clairement ça a dû inspiré Inception (2010). J’ai pas toutes les réf japonaises et c’est dommage je pense.
