This months Film club movie was quite extraordinary. Haven't read the book so my critique neglects depth but essentially a story about eternal love. Lovely animation, sort of sophisticated simplicity. It was most intriguing to watch a Japanese adaptation of period Europe with American actors dubbing. I knew nothing of the author Diana Wynne, but now know she was associated with the likes of Lewis Carroll. That makes sense of why, as one of my fellow club members said, it reminds you of a Terry Gilliam. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 1988 specifically, for me. I digress, so yeah I enjoyed it.
Oh hello, where have I been! Hayao Miyazaki also did Spirited Away 2001. Which I've seen several times over with my mate Julia. It's more bizarre than Howl's Moving castle, a darker tale, less romantic but good. Preferred Howl's Moving Castle because it used more yellow and blues because as a dog, I can see them better than the red and deep earth tones of Spirited Away.
