The genius who made dreams bleed into reality—gone too soon, but never forgotten.
A documentary about the production of the famous Japanese animation "Millennium Actress" by genius director Satoshi Kon, a god-like work. Unfortunately, genius is always short-lived.

Kon explaining how memories distort like celluloid.
Score
Hirasawa's haunting Rotten Reverie born from chaos.
Production
The literal running scene that nearly killed the team.

Shingo Amamiya
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kon kept a blog until his final days; his last entry was about wanting to live.
This documentary preserves Kon's working method—he storyboarded entire films alone, a practice nearly extinct in anime.
