Synopsis

A handsome youth by the name of Tenjou Utena transfers to the distinguished Ohtori Academy. But Utena’s true identity is actually a girl, who due to a certain event from her past, has decided to cross-dress in order to fulfill the highest of ambitions. But at Ohtori Academy she meets none other than her old lover, Kiryuu Touga, who wears the Mark of the Rose on his finger, which is the sign of a duellist. Because of her possessing the exact same ring, Utena is challenged by the student body vice president, Saionji Kyouichi, to a duel in the floating rose garden. The reason for this duel is none other than the acquisition of the “Rose Bride”’s body, for with it comes the “power to revolutionize the world.” —IMDb

The TV series Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of the best anime series ever created, and I've seen a lot of anime. But this movie was just crap. It's pretty to look at, but the story is absurd B.S. The series was absurd too, but in a good way, not like this movie.

    How the hell do you adore the series and hate the film? I agree: it IS one of the best animes ever made. I will concede that I do not think the film is really worth viewing unless one has seen the serial. That said - who the eff cares?! The film is orgasmic!

Love affair with this film. Particularly with J.A. Seazer and the scoring. Incidentally the above image is not from the film. Also, I do NOT recommend this film to one who has not seen, ideally, the entire series.

one of the most surreal films i've ever watched and i wish it was longer because i felt like the brevity of the movie made everything feel rushed. don't watch this movie without watching the series. also one of the most beautiful animated cinematography i've ever seen. even though i gave it five stars, i'm torn between loving it and going "huh?" but it was incredibly provocative for me and i really can't explain why.
