Movie Reviews of Millennium Actress
Movie Review: Anime at its best...for ANY Millennium!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is certainly one for the ages! I only started viewing
Anime within the last two years, and was I ever pleased that
my brother recommended this one. The artwork is fantastic,
the storyline bitter-sweet (keep a couple Kleenex handy, just
in case), and the ending appropriate...I don't understand why
some seem to not get it?!? What I don't understand is why no
English dubbing (at least not on the DVD I watched). This is
the only thing I found to be annoyingly distracting...but not
enough so to give Millennium Actress less than 5 stars!!!
Summary of Millennium Actress
The second film by director Satoshi Kon and screenwriter Sadayuki Murai recalls Perfect Blue, but Millennium Actress is a more complex, subtle, and sophisticated work that evokes the history of Japanese cinema. After nearly 30 years of living in strict seclusion, the aged film star Chioyoko Fujiwara grants an interview to journalist Genya Tachibana. As their conversation begins, Kan intercuts scenes from Chioyoko's films with her memories of pursuing the mysterious artist she met as a young girl. Accompanied by his blas? cameraman, Tashibana finds himself within Chioyoko's memories and films, alternately observing and aiding the woman he adores. Kon's skillful direction and subtle use of color strengthen the intriguing story: Chioyoko's memories are rendered in shades of gray, with hints of muted color highlighting the overall composition. American viewers will find their appreciation of this shimmering, spiral narrative deepens with repeated viewings. (Rated PG: violence, mature themes) --Charles SolomonArt House & International DVD Video
