Experience the gorgeous new restoration of what many believe to be Satoshi Kon’s greatest work. When the legendary Ginei Studios shuts down, filmmaker Genya Tachibana and his assistant are tasked with interviewing its reclusive star, Chiyoko Fujiwara, who retired from the spotlight thirty years prior. As Chiyoko recounts her career, Genya and his crew are literally pulled into her memories, where they witness her chance encounter with a mysterious man on the run from the police. Despite never knowing his name or his face, Chiyoko relentlessly pursues the man in a seamless blend of reality and memory that only Satoshi Kon could deliver. Boasting countless awards, including the Grand Prize in the Japan Media Arts Festival—which it shared with Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away—Millennium Actress is a must-see for anime fans of all ages.
