Is Paprika ever going to be released?
Film // Jim // 15th March 2007
I had a chance to go and see this crazy looking anime flick during the flatpack festival in Birmingham. Being in a period of moping at the time, I didn't bother and now I'm gutted as I have no idea when it is going to be properly released in the UK (if at all).
The plot concerns a newly invented device that allows psychotherapists to enter their patients dreams to sort out any unpleasantness. One of the devices is stolen for nefarious reasons and, if the trailer is any indication, everything goes completely postal. The images on display include salarymen jumping off skyscrapers, speeding mermaids, giant dolls being blown up and all sorts of reality warping strangeness and nastiness, seemingly has the potential to make the fairy tale-on-mushrooms Spirited Away look like a particularly dull episode of Heartbeat.
More details on the web site, but no release dates for the UK. Sony Pictures Classic: Sort it out, you cocks.
