For his last movie, Hayao Miyazaki recycles himself

“The Boy and the Heron,” the latest film from Studio Ghibli and likely the last feature from celebrated director Hayao Miyazaki, hit theaters for a nationwide release on July 14. It’s a visually and technically incredible film with a rather chaotic plot dense with allusion.

The story follows a boy in the first few years of postwar Japan dealing with the loss of his mother and a mysterious heron who takes him on a fantastical journey; in other words, it’s very much a Miyazaki universe.

In his review for The Japan Times, contributor Matt Schley writes, “The sights and sounds are fun and will feel familiar to fans: There are mouth-wateringly beautiful meals, adorable critters and wizened wizards galore.”

In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
