To celebrate the new Studio Ghibli film The Boy and the Heron (catch our preview it in our expat cinema on Wednesday 13 December), we screen another masterpiece of Hayao Miyazaki: Spirited Away. The film follows the emotional odyssey of a young heroine, weaving a tale for both young and old, in a magical world.

There is so much to see in Spirited Away, from a mud-spewing mask to a faceless entity indulging in cake. Spirited Away is a thousand films in one, where each scene forms a separate work of art. It is drawn by hand by director Hayao Miyazaki and animator Masashi Andô.  

  

After breaking attendance records in Japan, Spirited Away won a Golden Bear in Berlin and an Oscar for Best Animated Film.  The success is not owed to humor, as is often the case with many American animated films – the humor is subtle. Instead, Miyazaki illustrates the wind through the grass and the silence in the elevator… a true masterpiece.
