Description
Hayao Miyazaki's life and work are deeply intertwined with some of Japan's most iconic images: a toxic jungle, a bathhouse for gods, a red-haired fish girl, or a furry woodland spirit. This is the story of how these visions came to be, as told by Japanese culture and animation scholar Susan Napier. Miyazaki's films have had a profound impact on global popular culture, challenging Hollywood dominance and ushering in a new era of international animation. Through his work, he has explored themes such as empowered women, environmental nightmares, and utopian dreams. This book provides an in-depth look at Miyazaki's oeuvre, offering a nuanced portrait of a filmmaker whose art continues to captivate audiences around the world. By examining the multiple threads that run through Miyazaki's films, Napier offers a rich and insightful exploration of this extraordinary Japanese filmmaker.
