Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki returns to the big screen with a more personal film than ever. The 83-year-old director continues to come to the office every day to develop his next film.
Next month it will compete for the title of best animated film at the Oscar ceremony and may win the director another Oscar. Despite the cute and innocent-looking name, this is not exactly a movie for the whole family and it may confuse and frighten children in the single digits. The bombings of Tokyo in World War II separate the hero, Mahito, from his mother, who dies in a fire.
