Has anyone watched Paprika?

That's the short synopsis, but don't go watching the film expecting it to be like NiGHTS, it features many many mature elements such as grotesque and scary scenes. On the other hand, those who can deal with such mature elements really should watch the film, it, like NiGHTS, is more of an experience than just a mere film, and will create inspiration like no other!
For those who are interested, here is the intro, which shows a fair smattering of Paprika's powers in the real world, as well as a gorgeous song to go with it. (And don't worry, there's nothing mature in it!)

I love Satoshi Kon, but haven't gotten around to seeing Paprika yet. His style is so unique and just incredible.
Heh well I'm not likely going to watch another of his films, Paprika was very nearly too much for me @_@; regardless I totally recommend watching it!
Also we haven't talked before, its nice to meet you =3

You should look into him more! Take some breather time, then dive into Perfect Blue. It's a masterpiece.

Satoshi Kon was definitely one of the few genius directors of modern anime; it's sad that he died last year. I almost bought a Japanese Laserdisc copy of Perfect Blue a few weeks ago, but opted against it, because it was expensive and I wouldn't be able to understand it.
I think Paranoia Agent is one of his hallmarks. It has some disturbing elements, but is essential viewing IMO.

I loved Paprika. I consider myself super-lucky to have watched it in theaters a couple years back. It's such a fantastic film and the animation is so beautiful that the big screen experience was extra amazing.

Its nice to know that other people enjoyed it, and I had no idea that Satoshi Kon died last year! I probably won't be watching any more of his stuff though, it's too mature for my tastes >.<; ^^; have to admit that Paprika had it's beautiful side though, just like NiGHTS has it's own.
