With the renowned Ginei Studios shutting down and their buildings about to be demolished, filmmaker Genya Tachibana sets out to commemorate this historical moment by interviewing the studio’s former superstar: the now-reclusive Chiyoko Fujiwara. But why did she vanish at the peak of her career?
A luminous homage to the golden age of Japanese cinema, this masterwork from Satoshi Kon looks back over the career of a reclusive star—clearly modeled on Setsuko Hara. Pregnant with bittersweet romanticism, Millennium Actress is at once a reverent and subversive ode to an idealized screen legend.
