After the success of Perfect Blue, Giunti Odeon now brings Paprika  by master Satoshi Kon (1963-2010), one of the most acclaimed masterpieces of Japanese animation cinema. Presented as a world premiere at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival in 2006, Paprika is based on the novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui and represents a milestone in the history of cinematographic art and the collective imagination. First released in Italian theatres in 2007 and internationally awarded, the film is universally recognised as one of the best works of the late Satoshi Kon, an eccentric and visionary cult director, who played a crucial role for all the colleagues of his generation and became known worldwide for masterpieces such as Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers. Thanks to his unique vision and bold style, Paprika has profoundly influenced contemporary cinema, inspiring internationally renowned directors and becoming a reference for works such as Christopher Nolan's Inception. Set in the near future, Paprika tells the story of Dr Atsuko Chiba and her dreamlike alter ego Paprika. Using the DC Mini, a technology that enables the exploration of other people's dreams, the film tackles profound themes such as identity, the subconscious mind and the boundaries between reality and imagination.The work stands out for its innovative storytelling and extraordinary animation, which transports the viewer to an unprecedented dream universe that now appears more contemporary than ever. The soundtrack is by Susumu Hirasawa.
