Millennium Actress, Sennen joyu. Japan 2001 | Satoshi Kon | animated film | vostFR | 87’ | digital. Chiyoko Fujiwara, a former Japanese cinema star, lives secluded at home. A journalist, a keen admirer, interviews her about her past and returns a key that Chiyoko lost 30 years ago. Blending her life story with the movies she has starred in, the actress unveils her secret: a life of passion spent searching for a mysterious stranger who once gave her this key, promising to meet again. "This essential work of Satoshi Kon exudes energy, a breath that, without hindering the prevalent melancholy, prevents any form of nostalgia, instead dissecting the past to embark on a quest for the future without fatalism" (Culturopoing.com). "The graphics, direction, cinematography, chromatic scale, and script, all touch the sublime and create a baroque poem, breathtaking in its beauty." (L’Obs).
