Millennium Actress | Memory, Love/The Pursuit, Reality vs Fiction, and an Ode to Japanese Film History

Have you ever wanted something so much, you dedicated your entire career and life to finding it? Sonya and Deidra discuss Satoshi Kon’s “Millennium Actress” (2001) and break down its love for Japanese Cinema, the meaning of love vs pursuit, the pitfalls of memory and history, and the blurred line between fiction and reality in a wonderful, beautifully animated story loosely inspired by Japanese film actress, Setsuko Hara.
