Hayao Miyazaki, 1988, 86 min. [imdb page]

Enter the magical world of Hayao Miyazaki, with this early timeless masterpiece. Beautiful not only for the story telling, but also for the animation of Studio Ghibli and the musical score by Joe Hisaishi.

A father and two girls move into a new house, to be closer to their hospitalised mother. The girls discover in the nearby forest a magical creature—Totoro; along with a cat that is a bus, a flying top, and the enchantment of nature.

The characters in the film blur the boundaries of reality, imagination, and magic. Maybe, this is the way to be human?

The film screens at 9pm, Friday 23rd April @Dickwella Resort (Quarantine), Sri Lanka
