Review of Millennium Actress (2002) by Ismail A — 07 Apr 2017
Perhaps the greatest anime film ever made, not technically per se, but conceptually unparalleled and unrivaled. No other anime took the notion of film to its logical extreme or rather speculative extreme as Satoshi Kon did in that masterpiece.
Cinema becomes the extension of wish-fulfillment, or rather dreams unfulfilled that are reenacted again and again endlessly, in many stories and in many avatars, and each time that ceaseless search for love/imagined experience fuels more journeys and more wondering, until the boundaries between the two completely dissolve.
