In the film a device that allows someone to enter another's dream has been stolen and the devices designers try to track it down before it falls into the hands of a dream terrorist. This is what it says on in the blurb on the back of the DVD and although this is a good description the basic plot there is far more to it than this rather basic description. Paprika is a very difficult film to classify and it is definitely a film you will need to watch multiple times to understand it.Paprika is brilliantly made with some stunning and surreal animation easily showing how, when used properly, animation can be as good as if not better than anything live action can produce. The films plot can be very confusing but despite this, it never ceases to be anything less than engrossing. Whether you watch this film with the English dub or subtitles will have to be a personal choice as both have their advantages but I would have to say that the dubbed version is the easiest one to follow in places. Paprika is a simply stunning film and although definitely not to everyone's taste, it is easily one of my all time favourite films. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paprika was amazing *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 August 2012* I got this film because it was a highly rated anime and because I'd seen Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue and really enjoyed it, seeing as this was about the dreams and altering reality I decided to give it a try.Firstly the animation was amazing, apparently they used some cgi in there- I couldn't even tell! The whole dream sequence is so extravagant all the movement and the colours it was brilliant.The music was something else as well, i had to get the soundtrack most of it is outstanding, it really works with the film and was apparently the first film soundtrack to use a vocaloid- a program/machine that mimics the human voice.As someone who immensely enjoyed Inception, I heard this was one of Christopher Nolan's inspirations for Inception I had to see it. The plot is really good, it keeps you guessing for most of the film and ends up with a huge fight in dreams/reality. The detective subplot was really inventive too, and I felt quite sorry for him when he was waiting for Paprika etc.Paprika is one of those films you can watch again and again and it all comes together even better, though it ends like Inception where you aren't overly sure what's been reality and a dream or if they're still in the dream.My only criticism is that the subtitles only match up with the Japanese, so watching in English with the subtitles - a little thing I do with every film- is annoying.Overall this film is great, and could fit in the same category as The Matrix - I just can't wait to read the book which was written in the 90's. It's a shame it took so long to make this film, and with a live action film being made soon this fantastic piece of cinema will reach more even people. 5* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true masterpiece. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 September 2025* One of the greatest films of all time.I won’t spoil anything since you should go in knowing very little, but this gripping and mind bending psychological thriller is equal parts thought provoking, gripping and utterly beautiful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/255259407-paprika-dvd-region-1-ntsc](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/255259407-paprika-dvd-region-1-ntsc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
