Plot Summary: In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini" it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people's dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer's personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.

继《千年女优》、《东京教父》后,今敏一反现实画风把这个被喻为「不可能映像化」的筒井康隆小说搬上银幕。精神治疗师与天才科学家合力研製出一个可以走入病人梦境进行治疗的发明,不料在获政府批核之前,发明竟被人偷走。「盗梦侦探」自告奋勇�{查事件……超现实、精神分析、无意识空间、梦境解构…… 等深奥概念被今敏玩得出神入化,观影过程犹如坐云霄飞车。
Paprika的意思本为"红辣椒"。本片改编自日本著名科幻小说家筒井康隆的同名作品。在原作中,现实与梦境层迭交织让人难辨真幻,那些奇异复杂的梦境成了电影化的一大难点,因而这部作品迟迟未被搬上银幕。而筒井康隆在看了今敏的名作《千年女优》之后对其表现力大为叹服,于是认定今敏导演是《盗梦侦探》动画电影化的最佳人选。
影片穿梭于梦与真实之间,运用了疑幻疑真的处理手法。在气氛方面,不时有不少惹笑场面及对白,缓和紧张的推理及追逐部份。今敏导演这次在严肃的主题和轻松的表现手法上取得上了很好的平衡,既不失令人反思的主题,也不乏令人开怀的娱乐性,比起之前的作品可说是更进一步
