Yoko and I watched Paprika, the new Japanese anime from one of my favorite directors, Satoshi Kon.
It was one of the trippiest movies I have seen in a long time, and very good. The story is very intricate and detailed and its subtitled so I got lost a couple of times but was mostly able to keep up.
I still prefer his film "Tokyo Godfathers" which may indeed be my favorite movie, his stories are always a clash of light and dark, joyous yet haunting, and a completely fascinating social commentary on Japanese society.
Its only playing in the states for a couple of weeks so I highly suggest searching this one out and seeing it while you can, although I am sure it will be on DVD as well.
