  • Description

Epic fantasy from legendary director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli

A magical fantasy that demands to be seen on the big screen. Miyazaki's supposedly final film for Studio Ghibli is a masterpiece that sums up the animation master's entire career.

Mahito, a young 12-year-old boy, struggles to settle in a new town after his mother's death. However, when a talking heron informs Mahito that his mother is still alive, he enters an abandoned tower in search of her, which takes him to another world. A semi-autobiographical fantasy from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.

★★★★★ One of his best, most imaginative and mature movies yet. Observer
★★★★★ A treat for the eyes, the ears and the mind. Or the soul, if you prefer. Original Cin

★★★★★ Miyazaki remains the greatest living animator today, period. Rolling Stone
