★To commemorate the 20th anniversary of "Paprika," we present an even more vivid "Nightmare"! This
collaborative "Dream" project—directed by Satoshi Kon, based on the original work by Yasutaka Tsutsui, and produced by Madhouse—has been reborn with even more vivid visuals and sound through 4K remastering and Dolby
Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1ch!Enjoy Satoshi Kon’s meticulous and lavish visual
artistry and Susumu Hirasawa’s musical world to the fullest!
★A new design inspired by the motifs of “mirrors” and “duality” repeatedly depicted in Satoshi Kon’s works! The world of
*Paprika*, where dreams and reality, self and delusion, intricately intertwine, is expanded into an immersive, participatory experience.
The mirror-finish packaging reflects the purchaser’s own image, slightly distorted. That reflection, as if being
drawn into a “nightmare,” blurs the boundary between your own reality and the story’s fantasy world, undoubtedly leading to a deeper, more immersive viewing experience!
★ Includes video content and bonus materials to help you appreciate the film “Paprika” even more deeply!Includes the final script, faithfully
reproduced from the original dubbing script as closely as possible!
Additionally, the 4K UHD disc features interviews with the technicians involved in the 4K restoration, while the Blu-ray includes a complete collection of previously released package
extras! Furthermore, newly recorded Japanese and
international trailers, restored in 4K, are also included!
