Alice in Wonderland

Spirited Away is Studio Ghibli, which is itself a world cinema institution. Miyazaki's films draw from Japanese folklore, Shinto spirituality, and a specifically Japanese relationship with nature and the supernatural that has no Western equivalent. The entire Ghibli catalogue is streaming on Max, but Miyazaki's deeper influences, the Japanese animation tradition, the folk tales that Totoro and Spirited Away draw from, are worth exploring. Princess Mononoke and Nausicaä are the gateway to understanding what Miyazaki is actually doing.
