November 24, 2009 : Uhh… What?
It came out a few years ago, but I finally got around to watching the film Paprika.
The animation and character design was very impressive, which also goes for Paranoia Agent – director Satoshi Kon’s previous work. Agent’s problem, at least in my opinion, was that it moved too slowly. The story was definitely out there, and this could have been a good thing had it moved faster than the Frieza Saga.
Paprika takes this bizarreness and kicks it up about five extra notches. By the end, the weirdness envelopes the movie so much that it makes Akira and Evangelion seem as convoluted as Sesame Street.
All in all, it wasn’t a waste of 90 minutes. Paprika was visually appealing and its premise incredibly unique – just make sure you don’t mind being confused.
