Papurika (2006)

 

When a machine that allows therapists to enter their patients' dreams is stolen, all hell breaks loose. Only a young female therapist, Paprika, can stop it.

Wildly imaginative and sometimes disturbing and shocking anime is a fascinating watch, although its plot is difficult to follow; best described as an attempt to capture the fantastic and illogical world of dreams.

Maltin***: "Vivid psychedelic images highlight this Japanese anime...With its imaginative visuals, this is a trip worth taking."

Aniara (2018)

 

A spaceship carrying settlers to Mars is knocked off course, causing the consumption-obsessed passengers to consider their place in the universe.

Big-scale sci-fi epic with excellent special effects presents a complex tale of a hopeless odyssey into the vast nothingness of space and relentlessly explores the impact on the population of the spaceship.
