Anime fans rejoice. Satoshi Kon's latest, "Paprika", is set to be released by Sony Pictures Classics this year, and from the look of the trailer, it looks pretty amazing. Don't be fooled by the tentacles in the first picture. I don't think it's one of those types of anime releases. From what I can discern from the Apple site that is hosting the trailer, this is about a research psychotherapist that slips into an alter-ego to do some dream detective work for her clients, all in an effort to find out what is causing their anxiety and neurosis.
Doesn't sound like your typical children's fare, huh? Well, that's because Japanese animators don't always cater to the kids, but rather put out adult (sometimes disturbingly so) material for the Japanese mass consumption. Just be glad we're getting some of that genius imported to our shores. Check out the trailer here and keep an eye for when this movie has it's limited release here in the US.
