What a wonderful story told in the sense of a mixed reality between confused memories, dreams, and fantasies, all in the name of love. It almost brought tears to my eyes as the last the last line of the movie is said, because really, (this is me not trying to spoil it too much) we all love being in the pursuit of something, even if we do not know what it is.

One of the reasons "Anime" should actually be listed by other genre: Drama. This is a sad romantic story following the life of an actress. This basic description does not do justice to the presentation of her life by weaving together the present, the past and the fiction of the film roles she performed to show the emotional impact of a meeting in her childhood on everything that followed.

One of Satoshi's best works, amazing animation and a plot that continues to deliver throughout the entirety of the film.
