Those who saw the trailer for Paprika might recall that great pull
quote from New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis. Is found the
article and have the context for the quote:
October 6, 2006, Friday
FILM; At the New York Film Festival, a Global Glimpse of the State of
the Cinema
By MANOHLA DARGIS
"one of this week's indisputable standouts is ''Paprika,'' the latest
eye-popping anime from Satoshi Kon (''Millennium Actress,'' ''Tokyo
Godfathers''), which, despite the dizzying spirals of its overly
compressed narrative, offers continued evidence that Japanese
animators are reaching for the moon (and other far-out destinations),
while most of their American counterparts remain stuck in the kiddie
sandbox with their underage audiences. "
For the record, Paprika was listed as R-rated on the program for last
night's screening in Washington, D.C. Personally, I'm not sure
anything in here would be too intense for a 15-year-old, or even a 14-
year-old. Then again, it *IS* pretty challenging.
