Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi
Various info about the film
|

Mangas are often shun as being violent or/and misogynist,
so this film is a good opportunity to see it is only an unfair generalisation. So even if you
did not like other Japanese anime, you should nevertheless give this
one a chance. Actually, Chihiro's story was originally conceived for young girls,
as the director thought no film had yet been made truly for them. Thus he chose to create a believable realistic heroin,
whom they could truly identify with. Though he also wanted to offer them a good story without all the usual
sickeningly sugary elements often present in the material aimed at girls. The result is a great
tale, beautiful and strange, fine and moving, which captivates everyone instead of trying to please a
stereotyped audience! |

The director, Hayao Miyazaki, received Berlin's film festival prize, the "Ours d'Or",
as well as the Japanese 'best film' prize, for Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi. He is also well-known for his
previous highly-praised works, including: Laputa, Porco Rosso and Monoke Hime.
When asked why most of his lead characters are females, he simply replies that he loves women. |
