sounds interesting, links? pics? something!!! I must see
also what is it about?
It's about a retired pop-singer who wants to enter the career of acting, and when she finally breaks away from her singing career everything starts to crumble in her life with bizarre images and sounds, and even people, that are echoes of her past while at the same time she is being stalked and harassed by an over-obsessed fan. Its obviously a drama, though it does have some horror elements and one could argue its got a thick vale of mystery as well.
I got through it in one sitting, but to be honest it... upset me. I love
Satoshi Kon and as always, his team at "MadHouse" provides some beautiful and emotive animation (I still argue that in the actual animation department, NO anime has EVER touched MadHouse, there are no super imposed faces, jerky movements, it all flows and the faces are extremely expressive and detailed.) and it *does* have a good story, but its a bit upsetting.
Honestly the main reason why is I can't really deal with the subject of rape, especially when its presented in the way the film did. I won't say its a bad film because of that, it
is a good film, but I have a hard time watching it and it makes me rather uncomfortable when that scene comes about, and even the rest of the film is somewhat heavy and a little disturbing.
