Description
Right up to her violent end, Matsuko is unlucky in life and love, yet she never stops dreaming of true happiness. Memories of Matsuko trace the downs-and-ups of her tragic life and unflappable optimism in a fantastic world of pop music, elaborate costumes, and over 400 cuts of CG and animation. For her portrayal of the title role, Miki Nakatani won the 2007 Japan Academy Prize for Best Actress.
