“This anime from Japanese film-maker and manga artist Satoshi Kon is based on a 1991 novel of the same name by Yoshikazu Takuechi. Rated 18A.
“A singer in an up-and-coming teen girl-band decides to quit pop music and try to get into acting. But just as she does so, her erstwhile bandmates get a smash-hit single without her. Meanwhile, she can only get small demeaning acting roles – including that of a rape victim. Moreover, the attentions of a crazed stalker send her psychologically over the edge, and she increasingly can’t tell fact from fiction.” - The Guardian
