I have just returned from seeing Paprika (2006) at the Kendall Square Cinema with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaudior and eredien and other cool people I don't see often enough; they invited me on the theory that I would be interested by virtue of subject matter and they were right. This was the first film-length anime I have ever seen and I loved it. At different points in its plot, it reminded me of Patricia McKillip's Fool's Run, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, but mostly it seems to have been reminiscent of itself; it is about dreams and movies and some of the most eerily catchy music I have ever heard. I am not sure that I should attempt to provide anything like a plot summary, but I would suggest you not miss it. I may try to see it again myself.
Planted in the future, we live two lives
All to reveal a secret we can't hide . . .
