Anyone know if and when Paprika is being (or has been?) released in Western countries? Any country is fine.

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter

Thanks for sharing the news, kitski! I've been a long-time fan of director Satoshi Kon for he directed such highly matured and intellectual anime films like "Perfect Blue" and "Millenium Actress"...Now, I have another great film from him to look forward to watching...

Japan does not understand very well that one of its proudest cultural achievements is in film--- Akira Kurosawa
