"Paprika" is one of the best animated movies in the world.Directed and co-written by Satoshi Kon "Paprika" takes the viewer to a psychedelic roller coaster ride in a surreal world.The characters are complexly layered, yet very simple.Reality and imagination gets mixed every now and then,not only for the audience but also for the characters themselves.Dr.Chiba Atsuko and her alter ego Paprika are very separate entity ,one operating in real world another in dream world,yet they are the same.Even Christopher Nolan took inspirations from "Paprika" and made a world renowned film with similar dream sequence and effects.
