The magnum opus of one
of the most significant animators in the world, Hayao Miyazaki, leads the audience into a fascinating
world of unbridled fantasy.Spirited Away is an adventure film that
doesn’t revolve around battles, its main character has no
special powers and there is no fight between good and evil. This tale of aten-year-old
girl who wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monstershas no need
for the clichés and shallow attractions of seasonal animated blockbusters. On
the contrary, viewers of all ages are engulfed in the unique vision of the
author that infuses every single shot with magic, playfulness, originality, but
also a dose of melancholy and emotiveness. – In 2003, the film won an
Oscar in the category of full-length animated films.
