The life story of an actress told to reporters that blurs the line between reality and fantasy as the movies she made become he life and vice versa.
A wonderful continuation of of the ideas in the brilliant thriller Perfect Blue, we once again have our perceptions turned upside down and sideways. Who is telling the truth, or more importantly is it even possible to know when all we are anyway is a half remembered collection of memories, are notions thrown at us and left for us to determine on our own. This is a film that probably could never have worked as a live action film simply because the changes between reality, memory and movie could never be as seamless as they are here.
This is a movie for grown ups and very clearly shows why those who think animated films are only for kids is missing out.
