MILLENNIUM ACTRESS

“A love poem to cinema itself.” —Slant “Outside of Satoshi Kon’s own filmography, there is nothing quite like MILLENNIUM ACTRESS. The director masterfully uses the malleability of animation to find new beauty … Kon paints film as almost spiritual in the way it prolongs life.” —Little White Lies “Boldly conceived … A roller-coaster ride that plays with memory and genre conventions.” —Variety Freely inspired by the life of Setsuko Hara, Ozu muse and star of 101 films, Satoshi Kon (PERFECT BLUE and PAPRIKA) brings his elliptical style to the story of a documentarian whose investigation into the life of an actress sends him on an adventure through time and straight into the heart of cinema.
