New film by Satoshi Kon: Paprika

Some information has appeared on the new project by Satoshi Kon, one of my favorite anime directors (and also one of my favorite current filmmakers, period).

It is based on a novel by Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui, about a female psychiatrist/detective who solves crimes by entering into people's dreams.

A few days ago, the official movie site got on line. Unfortunately, as it is in Flash, babelfish is useless with it. However, it does contain four stills of the movie:









Official site

Teaser:
Real Media
WMV
QT

The movie hasn't got a page on imdb as of today.

Looks twisted. Even though I was somewhat disappointed with Millenium Actress, I'll have to check this out.

Fantastic. This DVD will be a blind buy for me. Kon is one of the most consistently awesome directors working today.

I agree with Duder, this movie will be a blind buy for me as well. Kon's work is amazing and I have never even seen Tokyo Godfathers.

An easy blind-buy for me as well. Satoshi Kon has yet to let me down (and has made masterful movies in such a wide range of genres and tones). Along with Miyazaki, he's one of those anime filmmakers that I steer movie fans to who think that anime is beneath them.
