'A piece of cinematic art. It's modern day Japanese animation at its best.'Kevin Williams, Chicago Tribune Based loosely on the life and work of Ozu muse Hara Setsuko, Satoshi Kon's stunning sophomore feature is a kaleidoscopic, time-skipping portrait of a reclusive actor looking back on her career. The clever meta-movie follows a two-man documentary crew as they set about interviewing Fujiwara Chiyoko, a former studio star who withdrew from public life after retiring decades earlier. Her story transports the pair through a century of Japanese cinema and history, as past and present, memories and movie roles, start to blur.
