The definition of beauty in the form of film.

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2018)

This film, because this is film in the truest sense of the word, is one of the most beautiful films ever made. This film is so wonderful and pertinent to my cultural upbringing that I still remember when I saw it for the very first time. I had heard a lot of good stuff about it but I was not expecting to be as blown away as I was. I remember that there were a couple of American reviewers on the DVD giving a short prologue before the movie started and they said something to the effect of "if this is your first time watching this film, then we're really envious of you!". Boy were they right! The musical score, the pace of the film, the animation, the story, the...everything! It's simply magical...Studio Ghibli really outdid themselves
P.S. As this film is pure poetry then do what you would with a beautiful poem or song, watch it in its original language. Don't watch it dubbed! (Just a piece of advice) D.S.
