I did a search for this title but did not find any references so please forgive me if this has already been covered.
I'd like to make a recommendation to everyone that if you possibly can to give Millennium Actress a watch. I have seen it on the shelves in a number of places but it was not a title that really grabbed me so I just passed it by. The other day I was at Blockbuster Video and they had a copy of the DVD for rent so I decided to give it a go. I'm very happy I did. It's the story of a once legendary actress who is now living in seclusion. As she shares her life story with a reporter, it is played out by the many roles that she had throughout her career. While this can be somewhat confusing at times, as the story progresses it becomes easier to follow and adds to the overall feeling of the movie. The thread that runs through the story is her search for a mysterious man that she met in her childhood and a key that she seeks to return to him. This is a very touching account and I am glad I decided to give it a try. I definately will be adding this one to my anime library. It only comes in subtitled format but is easy to read as you are given ample time with the script. The animation is stunning and the music breathtaking. Millennium Actress is a definate must have especially if you are into historic pieces and love stories.
