The Complete Satoshi Kon: Millennium Actress
Short url:
Over the course of four critically-acclaimed feature films and a 13 episode TV series, Japanese animator Satoshi Kon crafted his own cinematic universe, while building a devoted cult following. His richly detailed compositions and innovative nonlinear approach to editing, allowed Kon to explore themes of shifting social identity, and the blurry lines between fantasy and reality. Please join us for a complete retrospective of Kon's features. We close the program with Kon's moving, magical drama Millennium Actress (2001).
Filmmaker Genya and his cameraman Kyoji seek out reclusive, retired film star Chiyoko to interview her for a documentary. Returning a mysterious key that Chiyoko lost decades ago, Genya prompts the actress to recall her career and the great romance that drove it. As her story unfolds, the lines between cinema and real life begin to merge. Satoshi Kon's exhilarating love letter to cinema is inspired by the lives of Japanese screen legends Setsuko Hara and Hideko Takamine. Using Chiyoko’s memories and films, Kon beautifully blends past and present, while interweaving reality with the dream life of movies. Watch the trailer.
