Paprika is one of the year's best movies. I'm still partial to his Millennium Actress, which plays as an animated double of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. I wouldn't call Paprika Kon's Inland Empire (somebody here has to have seen this; engage me), nor will I pretend to understand every insane, frog-filled frame Kon has painted in this portrait detailing the thin boundary between the dream world and reality. That said, logic and plot is the wrong approach to a movie that eschews traditional narrative. Part of Paprika's agenda is also to comment on society's reliance on technology for communication, namely the internet. The internet cafe dreamscape scenes still trips/creeps me the fuck out, but hey, aren't we all there, right now?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
