Description
Spirited Away by Andrew Osmond explores the creative vision behind Hayao Miyazaki's iconic film. A deeply personal and universally relatable fantasy, the movie follows Chihiro as she enters a magical world filled with enchanting creatures and unexpected challenges. Osmond delves into the film's visual language, revealing how Miyazaki used his unique style to explore themes of personal agency, responsibility, and modern Japan's state. The book also examines connections between Spirited Away and Miyazaki's earlier work, shedding light on the cartoon medium's ability to create immersive worlds. This edition includes a new foreword by the author, reflecting on the evolution of animated cinema since Spirited Away's release.
