Session times: bit.ly/2V8NOB5
Experience the gorgeous new restoration of what many believe to be Satoshi Kon’s (Perfect Blue, Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers) greatest work, MILLENNIUM ACTRESS.
When the legendary Ginei Studios shuts down, filmmaker Genya Tachibana and his assistant are tasked with interviewing its reclusive star, Chiyoko Fujiwara, who had retired from the spotlight 30 years prior. As she 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 that 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 Agency of Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival, which it shared with Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, MILLENNIUM ACTRESS is a must-see for anime fans of all ages.

This film has been considered a contemporary legend and a masterpiece years before the Sensei left us. That should tell you all you need about its value.
And it came out the same year yet another legendary movie was released
My favorite movie of all time Spirited Away, and I can say that Millennium Actress is on my list of top 50 favorite movies of all time
Everything he shared with us is gold. And now I’m bawling!
It's amazing to me that Satoshi Kon was known for creating dark and thought provoking movies about the ugliest sides of humanity. Yet among them he was able to create an uplifting movie that was more empowering over oppressing. I always wish could've made more movies to show how vast his creatives skills were in both animation and writing. The modern landscape of movies could use more people like him.
The animation of Satoshi Kon with the music of Susumu Hirasawa is one of the most divine combinations possible
Of all the animated movies I have watched, this movie has moved me the most. I have watched it around 10 years ago and was impressed by the story, animation, soundtrack and emotions. It's a movie I keep close to my heart.
just saw it last night and fell in love. don't know why I waited so long. I've seen Perfect blur Tokyo godfathers and paprika along with Paranoia Agent.
Same..
it was released 10 years ago?
The last mainstream traditionally animated movie to be inked and painted by hand onto cels. 👍
What do you mean..?? Im pretty sure Redline was inked and painted by hand, and it came out in 2009.
Tale of princess kaguya im pretty sure did
No actually they are a lot
This movie is life. This movie teaches you the purpose and the meaning, the beauty of living, and chasing… how to enjoy the journey. Movie of a lifetime, or should I say millennium.
Never cried so hard whilst watching a movie before
Life Is About The Journey, Not The Destination.
This and Perfect Blue are already two of my favorite films ever made. I only heard about Satoshi Kon this year after getting into anime movies. But it’s never too late to witness his incredible filmography.
I of course love these two movies on their own. It’s just the way they are connected by Kon saying they are like “sisters” is what keeps me obsessed with them.
Reminder!!! Don't watch Satoshi films if your brain is tired. Focus, concentrate and endure the "why? How? When?" Hahaah 🤭🤭🤭
✓paprika
✓perfect blue
That Susumu Hirasawa OST be hittin’.
Hitting stronger than guts
One of my favourite movies of all time, but sadly very underrated
What a beauty, amazing movie. The plot the way they move through time using movies it's like japnese history and movie industry move through time at the same time it's her own story that's unravelling in those movies of her chasing that painter.
One of the best movies (animated or not) that Ive ever watched.
A 20 años de esta excelente película, ojalá Satoshi Kon estuviera vivo para ver como se ha añejado una de sus más grandes obras, y una de las mejores películas del anime en la historia.
Satoshi Kon-sensei was truly a master
All of his movies are masterpieces, his one anime was great showcase of stories he always wanted to tell, and even the other projects he worked on are amazing.
Whether is be his script on the first segment of Memories, Magnetic Rose; his work on the legendary Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure OVA(yes, I am not joking), his contribution to the legendary film Akira and so on.
I still remember the day when it was announced he had passed away and I felt like I had lost a great friend too soon.
I had not seen any of his work till that point but I knew about him and just from interviews from anime magazines(yes I’m that old) and looking at the various stills of scenes from his movies, they had a very unique feel and he loved what he created. And due to anime distribution companies here in the states we’re starting to disappear, I was scared that all of Satoshi Kon’s work would be lost forever
But now, all of his movies, his one anime series, and most of his other work is widely available for all to experience and too keep his memory alive for generations to come
The music drew me here by itself. I need to watch this film.
Criterion has the best version of it!
You won’t be disappointed. Watch it on a lazy day, when it starts to rain.
Kon Sensei left us far too soon. Not trying to start a fight, but I'd take him over Miyazaki. And I love Miyazaki.
miyazaki is more pg lol
Honestly the only thing they share are the medium of animation. They can’t be compared to each other, they make entirely different kinds of films
I believe Kon could have topped Miyazaki if he was still alive. It’s scary to think how Kon passed away at a young age, but is considered one of the greatest directors ever made with only a decade worth of filmography. With the influence he had on Hollywood. And with his work being way ahead of it’s time. It makes me wonder what he would have make if he were still alive today.
I agree.
Satoshi Kon had insane filmmaking talent and vision, but Miyazaki is in a different category. I'd say he is the greatest director alive, including all live action film directors.
Setsuko Hara was amazing
This is a masterpiece
Susumu hirasawa is the best. His style and voice is so recognizable
this was a rather heartwarming and surprisingly entertaining movie. I was later surprised to learn that the same who directed the creepy Perfect Blue also made this movie.
I loved this movie. It reminded me of the movie Paprika which seems like the same people made this movie too. The music and animation is brilliant 😍
both movies are directed by Satoshi Kon
I don't understand it that much but I definitely enjoyed watching this movie I even cried haha I think I would watch it again.
My favourite anime movie of all time
Some girls have beauty marks on their right faces!
my second favourite out of perfect blue, paprika, millennium actress and tokyo godfather, only slightly behind perfect blue
ahh the retro art style of early 2000s
I wonder why this one is only subtitles? It deserves a proper English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German dub.
Best Movie I Ever Seen
some how Everything Everywhere all at once just makes me think of Millennium Actress
agree
I thought the same thing! Millenium Actress >> Everything Everywhere All At Once though -- they have the same frenetic energy, but I felt like ME had more heart, and is less gimmicky.
Well, they did make me cry equal amounts
Everything, Everywhere makes me think of Kazuki Akane's brilliant TV series Noein, also about parallel universes.
@@downward_facing_dad Totally get what you mean but both has touched me equally
Great Director
Definitely gonna watch this film this weekend.
It’s free on CZcams movies
its not love but the pursuit of love I am after...hahaha loved the most beautiful movie ever
looks amazing, uk bluray hits next week
I've got my copy from torrent. 34.2 GB 2160p
From Go Fish/DreamWorks Pictures
Noice , i bought this on dvd when it came out. Later upgraded to Blu-Ray. And just now ordered a 4k Copy. Also just bought Paprika 4k Steelbook and allready owned Akira on 4K and Ghost in the Shell. Now waiting for Fist of the Nortstar on 4k but that wil probably never happen.
What's the name of the song used in the trailer?
Rotation (LOTUS-2) by Susumu Hirasawa.
The opening track is this one: czcams.com/video/tGb_fYB3FXg/video.html "Prince of Key" - but it changes @ 0:30 and damn it it's so familiar but now I cannot find it!
@@Wyrdwad Interestingly, that song was also played at Satoshi Kon's own funeral, which Hirasawa attended, of course.
@@karhu7581 Aww, I didn't realize that. Makes sense, though.
No one's talking about perfect blue? The masterpiece from satoshi
Where can i watch this movie please ?
Est-ce-que l'actrice rencontre cet homme vraiment à chaque fois ou bien se sont que des scéne de ses films et q'elle imaginait qu'elle le voyait ?
What is the synopsis of this movie ?
Yoooo
Can someone tell me the name of the background song?
There are several. the first is "Prince of Key", after that I'm lost.
music by Susumu Hirasawa - rotation (Lotus-2), (OST Millenium Actress)
0:59
So is the movie good orrr?
Its my favorite anime movie personally. Ive watched it like 6 times its moving, heartfelt, and visually stunning. You should give it a shot!
@@brimo5004 ok thank you!
@@sarahkay923 no its not really good
It's very beautiful film.
Is a legend anime
One of the best Animes I've watched so far
imagine what abomination would happen if satoshi con with his blending of reality style of directing teams up with shinkai, the guy famouse for peacfull romance series
Why does she looks like that girl from Perfect Blue? Is it a sequel or smth?
No,same director.
Esse filme me deixou mal..
looks like paprika in more delusional version
Same writer and director
Actually it's more of like perfect blue but in a beautiful way not dark at all
@@saiparayan4047 yea it utilizes the same theme but it's plot is very different and unlike perfect blue it uses movies to move through time 20s 30s 40s... and tell Chiyoko's own life story it's beautiful. kinda sad happy ending donno to cry or smile ig i will do both.
Shit ...... finished reading it. The whole thing is Buddhist. Discovered that life is actually very simple. Just a human body, eat, drink, sleep. Then added a bunch of uncountable le society consumer goods capital media world...actually life is that simple. And then a million little things were added. But the real joy, or that never-ending to the heart of some bottomless hole without ceiling goal to go a little 🤏 update progress pursued. It's just that the years are too wasted on people. If that goal is destroyed by the years, is only a goal to eat youth, then it is too cruel and helpless to do anything 👐 unbearable to the extreme ...... and then the Buddha. Goals can only be set the kind of goals that people can continue to pursue even as they grow old to be immortalized. As a complete story, surely many people give it a bad review. But as an art 🎨 embodiment of the human quest, and then the years wasting away as endless resistance to fight, that is very extremely successful.
Just like the 🐰 that is heading for the sky, being about to be smashed in the head with a pot lid coming from the sky, but the 🐰 is still stubborn and unyielding to fly to the sky. That extreme confrontation of disobedience, and the survival of the goal, also particularly reflects the simplicity of life, but also the longevity of where the life force comes from. It is the savage growth that keeps on going on and on to reach the goal. That is the ultimate joy. From a life of poverty becoming fun. And not some fast food consumer entertainment...screwing up and then being empty. It's a lifetime of screwing and mining. Vitality is defying old age, defying decay, defying a body that will gradually weaken, vitality...true quality play, but the pursuit of eternity.
This film honestly has a kind of subliminal effect...[laughs and cries R] I was impatient watching it at twice the speed, used to like the fast pace, and after the adequate pace I was able to focus 100% on the film, it felt like the film also flowed fast, kept switching scenes, kept the life story. ...like a mirror that resides in my mind...and should be more relatable the more life experience one has, the difficulty in resonating as a child is the lack of life experience. That's why there's some more magical feelings. Again, a thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets. [laughs and cries R] No need to see it like I do. (It's probably because it's sped up and things go by so fast that I don't stay with specific characters, costumes (some people love the designs in them and focus on pretty designs), that I can arrive at an entire life, as splendid as a walk, on the hoof. ...
All in all, you can have a very different experience as well. This kind of sword and sorcery film is definitely something that will polarize the review sensibilities. [laughs and cries R]Anime is low age oriented, but this piece instead gets more and more experienced (age years accumulate) and flavorful. It's like seeing a mirror 🪞, looking at her inside, but mentally full of their own life history mapped, my knowledge base is not enough [laughing and crying R] to perfect my expression, using a word that does not fit to describe "montage" assembled, but this is a constant timeline, a little different, but also assembled a life. But it's also assembling a life, "the way it should be," the way the author ≈ endless pursuing
