In legendary anime director Satoshi Kon’s groundbreaking first feature, rising pop star Mima has quit singing to pursue a career as an actress and model, but her fans aren’t ready to see her go. Encouraged by her managers, Mima takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show, when suddenly her handlers and collaborators begin turning up murdered. Harboring feelings of guilt and haunted by visions of her former self, Mima’s reality and fantasy meld into a frenzied paranoia. As her stalker closes in both in person and online, the threat he poses is more real than even Mima knows. This iconic psychological thriller has frequently been hailed as one of the most important animated films of all time. Intended for mature audiences. Description adapted from gkids.com. (Dir.: Satoshi Kon, Japan, 1997, 81 min., Japanese with English subtitles)
