Description
His poetic directing and universal themes, such as the importance of nature, have turned Hayao Miyazaki into one of the most respected artists on the movie and animation scene.
Initially intended for Japan only, his works eventually reached the Western market. Spirited Away is one of the most successful animated movies worldwide.
This book aims to explore the personality of this unusual author and his collaborators, and to decipher, movie by movie, the profound themes found throughout his entire work, which reveal the humanist nature of this essential filmmaker.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Miyazaki's works have a depth and complexity often missing in American animation. There is a painterly richness in his work, and he permits himself silences and contemplation, providing punctuation for the exuberant action..." --Roger Ebert
"It's almost impossible to do justice in words to the visual richness" - Variety
"With Miyazaki, you see a world full of benign spirituality, prelapsarian innocence and joyous discovery, all rooted in a carefully detailed reality." - Steve Rose, The Gaurdian
