Kon's great attention to real life detail, is exhibited in each of his projects and very much so in Paprika.
This film is loaded with vivid color, surreal lighting effects, and environments that truly explore the depth of existence. Each scene and detail beautifully animated, in a unique way which Kon has really made his signature.
Very adventurous in nature, Paprika is a highly imaginative story about the subconscious. With the high production value and consistency that you've come to expect from today's top animated films.
Audio and visuals work wonderfully together, although the storyline appears far fetched and hard to follow, making it a deeply thought provoking fiction fantasy of grand proportions.
A simple theme describing the core the plot could be stated as What Happens when a dream merges with other dreams becomes uncontrollable and begins seeping into reality? This idea is expanded upon through out the film.
The characters consist of all adult professionals, all of them having a relation to each other and play a significant part in the story. With each of these characters, the creator has managed to avoid stereotypes, and give them each a uniqueness and certain relate ability. Instead of using the straight forward approach of defining Heroes and Villains by way of right vs. wrong, each characters motives are used to determine a more complex organization.
Paprika is overall a rich and intriguing tale that you will need to watch more than once to really grasp and appreciate its meaning, however the harder you try to comprehend its true message, the sooner you'll realize that it's simply open to interpretation.

Paprika is just another one of these..but at a whole new level. The characters, the story, the suspense~it's breath-taking! I highly recommend it. Was this review helpful?
