About the film
MILLENNIUM ACTRESS
JAPAN 2001 87min. 14A
Directed by Satoshi Kon
The story of an aging movie actress' complicated personal saga unfolds in this sophisticated anime film that deftly blurs memory and make-believe into a meditation on the nature of cinema itself. "To watch Millennium Actress' is to witness one cinematic medium celebrating another, an expression of movie love that is wonderfully eccentric and deeply affecting," wrote A.O. Scott of The New York Times. Presentation: 2K
The film will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. Prizes will be raffled courtesy of The Beguiling Books & Art and the Page & Panel: The TCAF Shop !
