I got tickets on Friday.

"Paprika," 1:15 p.m. Monday, Neptune

A central character in this anime feature commits film-festival heresy by declaring that he doesn't care for movies. He's just a cartoon, of course, and he quickly gets his comeuppance while learning the difference between dreams and reality. That's more than the audience can claim; the script about a doctor who uses a gadget to enter the dreams of her patients seems to make up the rules as it goes along. For fans of "Tokyo Godfathers" director Satoshi Kon, the movie will be a trippy treat, jammed with clever in-jokes, colorful dreamscapes and carnival-like parades that explode into consciousness at the least expected times. (90 minutes)

So, is that why some filmies didn't like it, but most real people do?

Never on a Sunday is a lot better than just "Mexican Weekend at Bernie's". Its showing one more time on Monday.

Its a subtle take on economic survival and teen angst in modern Mexico City. However the subtitles in english are PG rated, while the Spanish dialog is R.

(please excuse pluging my blog where I wrote up a quick review http://improvisa.wordpress.com/ . I promise I won't do it again until the next SIFF Mexican movie)

Paprika was great. The packed audience loved it!

But then, so was A Battle of Wits!
