PAPRIKA
Paprika from director Satoshi Kon (Millennium Actress,
Tokyo
Godfathers) takes a mindbending trip into the world of dreams. A
new
psychotherapy device enables therapists to enter, participate in, and
record patients’ dreams. The Tokyo research lab is thrown into
chaos when one of these new devices is stolen by a “psycho-terrorist”
who seems bent on breaking down the barriers between the waking world
and that of dreams. Brilliant scientist Atsuko Chiba takes the
form of a femme-fatale codenamed “Paprika” to enter the dreamworld, and
with the help of a police detective haunted by the memory of an
unsolved murder case, tries to uncover who is behind the plot.
