For the last 10 days the BAMcinémathek payed tribute to the Japanese director and founder of Studio Ghibli, who has been producing the most successful and unique Anime movies of the last 30 years.
This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, is your last chance to catch one of his most iconic movies.
"For nearly three decades, the films of Hayao Miyazaki and the company he founded, Studio Ghibli, have revolutionized the art of animation. Miyazaki’s indelible style—which weds the uncanniness of Lewis Carroll and the epic grandeur of Akira Kurosawa—stands as a testament to the beauty and imaginative power of hand-drawn animation, conjuring richly realized worlds replete with mystical spirits and shot through with an abiding concern for the relationship between humans and nature."
The schedule for today includes "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "Howl's Moving Castle" before the retrospective closes tomorrow with the Oscar winning "Spirited Away", which is my personal favorite. If you have never seen a Miyazaki movie and think that Anime movies are just for kids, I strongly urge you to go and see one for yourself. They are magical, sweet, inspiring and in my opinion can't be compared to your average Disney movie.
