Description

The Roxy is thrilled to announce AniMay, a series of five of the most spectacular anime films ever made, presented every Wednesday in May 2019.

Dr. Atsuko Chiba works as a scientist by day and, under the code name "Paprika," is a dream detective at night. Atsuko and her colleagues are working on a device called the DC Mini, which is intended to help psychiatric patients, but in the wrong hands it could destroy people's minds. When a prototype is stolen, Atsuko/Paprika springs into action to recover it before damage is done. A profound influence on Christopher Nolan's Inception, Paprika was Satoshi Kon's final achievement.
