Another masterpiece !

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2011)

Spirited Away is definitely the best film in all categories I've seen to date. In all his films, Miyazaki has always impressed me, with this one particularly.
From the beginning, the master plunges the viewer into an incredible and magical world, where humans, spirits and deities coexist. Thus began a journey into the heart of childhood, a world full of prohibitions and regulations, but also full of dreams and hopes. This film makes us understand that even if the childhood is not always an easy time, it is important to enjoy the moment and be happy.
In addition to animation quality beyond reproach and beautiful environments, the music composed by Joe Hisaishi allows us a total immersion into the atmosphere of the film.
The Art of Hayao Miyazaki peaked at the scene of the train. Using a scene of pure simplicity, Miyazaki accomplishes a masterpiece of poetry. During two minutes, the real world no longer exists, the viewer is totally absorbed by this scene of incomparable beauty, entranced by the awesome piano piece by Hisaishi : "The Sixth Station".
By combining the image, the universe and the music of two geniuses, Spirited Away promises the audience an unforgettable journey to the world of dreams.
We are so far from Disney or some Pixar with Miyazaki's movies. Infinitely more beautiful, more intelligent, more sincere, more humanistic, more creative, more poetic, more breathtaking, but never preachy or silly. Giver of hope and dreaming of a better world like no other cinema.
10/10
