Paprika (2006)
9/10
Confusing... in a good way

Warning: Spoilers
I was most impressed by this film, the visuals are stunning and the plot interesting. It is a little hard to understand on first viewing as one isn't too sure what is a dream and what is reality.

The main plot concerns the efforts to find out who stole a device called the DC Mini which enables the user to enter another person's dreams, when misused it causes a persons dreams, and the dreams of others, to infect their reality.

Our heroine Dr Chiba Atsuko and her alter ego Paprika must search both dreams and reality to find the thief and stop them, as she does so things get stranger and stranger and the viewer is frequently unsure whether we are looking at reality, a dream or a mixture of the two.

This is a film worth watching more than once, the first time to enjoy the confusion, the second to make sense of it.
