If you're a fan of Satoshi Kon films like I am (my personal favorite being "Perfect Blue"), you'll probably enjoy Paprika. Its very, very surreal, and some of the dialogue sort of reminds me of Ghost in the Shell in that they're talking about this technological device (in this case something called a DC Mini) in such a way that I can only vaguely grasp what its all about. Its interesting though.
And the visuals are amazing, particularly when the dream-world is shown; its such a kaleidoscope of colors and objects and music. Personally, the ending was kinda underwhelming for me, but overall its a good film. And now I'm tempted to find out if the novel its based on has an English translation.
