If you loved Perfect Blue, try Paprika

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Satoshi Kon, and they both carry the foreign gem, mindfuck, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Perfect Blue, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Paprika is

Tokyo streets at dusk, a lab computer beeps. A young therapist's device is stolen, her patients' dreams now a chaotic playground. Kon's unique visual style makes this a standout animated thriller.
