Very sad day; was just watching Tokyo Godfathers the other day. I'm surprised more film critics didn't point out the obvious parallels between Paprika and Inception.

I think Paprika was the least personal of his works, and at the same time, the most ambitious. The thematic "mystery" is still present, but I never felt like it drove the story, as in his earlier stuff. As far as the "dreaming" thing goes - obviously Paprika took a very different tangent than Inception did, and I think it freed them to try more things. Inception had to play by the rules that it made for itself.
As far as Kon's works go,
1: Millenium Actress
2: Tokyo Godfathers
3: Paranoia Agent
4: Perfect Blue
5: Paprika
That being said, Paprika was still in the top few films of 06/07.

Crap, I'd been meaning to watch Paprika for years, this thread reminded me.
Too bad it had to be this thread...RIP Satoshi.
*EDIT* Finished Paprika, pretty darn good. Blown away by the visuals and the story went in a lot of different directions. A lot of things to question and pick through.

It's odd that I just watched Bambi for the first time in years last night -- including all the extras -- when a large figure in animation passes away. I admit I don't really know his work, but I've certainly heard the kudos for him before. I'd had no idea he was sick. This is a sad day for animation, to say the least.

I think I'll watch Millennium Actress followed by Tokyo Godfathers sometime this weekend.
