Review:

A new, high-tech device that allows therapists to enter people's dreams has been stolen, spelling danger for the entire world, and only the mysterious Paprika might be able to find it - it sounds straightforward, but Paprika is much more complicated than that. Vibrant, strange, dark, and mind-bending to the point you'll wonder if Nolan was taking notes for Inception, there's no real way to describe it: it's a cult classic for a reason, and well worth crossing off your list (and it looks beautiful on the big screen!). If you enjoyed Perfect Blue last term, check this one out!
