Millennium Actress (2001)
Written by Sadayuki Murai and Satoshi Kon
Directed by Satoshi Kon
Perfect Blue was my introduction to Satoshi Kon, which blew my mind. It was my first time seeing anime that wasn’t fantastical but grounded in reality. However, that didn’t stop Kon from showing us why animation was the best way to present this story. He did things with animation that were impossible with live action or too cost-prohibitive. Still, it felt right at home with any Hitchcock or De Palma psycho-thriller. Over the 2023 holidays, we watched Tokyo Godfathers, another film whose premise doesn’t automatically lead one to animation. However, Kon shows us again why he could only tell this story the way he wanted with the near-limitless possibilities of the form.

This 1989 science-fiction film starring Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd starts off very strong: with perhaps of the coolest concepts I've ever seen executed in a film.

Their bodies are replaced with pre-burned replicas. Baltimore and her co-workers from 1,000 years in the future are unable to reproduce, so naturally - their solution is to steal men and women from 1989 and force them to breed with each other in their crumbling, dystopian future.
And in a really clever plot point, all of the characters from the future must constantly smoke cigarettes while traveling to the 1980's... because they're accustomed to polluted air, and the air quality in 1989 is just too clean for them.
As I said - in concept, the movie is incredibly strong, with the science-fiction aspects of time travel and paradox very well explained an
