Adolescence of Utena (1999)

“This sequel/retelling of Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) follows Utena Tenjou, a tomboy high school student who is drawn into a series of sword duels to win the hand of Anthy Himemiya, a mysterious student known as the “Rose Bride”. The film is noted for its extensive use of metaphor and symbolism; its focus on themes of gender, sexuality and the transition from adolescence to adulthood; and for its more mature subject material relative to the anime series.” (Wikipedia)
