Millennium Actress (2002)
Movie
Released
An interview with an ageing actor carries her visitors through remembered films and lived experience without secure borders between them. Satoshi Kon makes movement across eras feel emotionally continuous, so an image can be both a role and a private longing. Choose it for active, exhilarating recollection rather than a conventional chronological life story.

When he presents her with a key she had lost and thought was gone forever, the filmmaker could not have imagined that it would not only unlock the long-held secrets of Chiyoko’s life... but also his own.
