Spirited Away: Perfect World-Building

Published 2024-03-17
The Curtain Call explores one of the greatest moments in not just hand-drawn animation, but in cinema itself. A masterful example of visual storytelling and making a fantastical world believable.

The Sixth Stop train scene from Hayao Miyasaki's Academy Award-winning Spirited Away (2002)

Because I live in Australia, my memories of first seeing this film was in 2003 due to our delayed release dates; especially back then.

    A truly deep film that stands the tests of time and cynicism. I have watched it ten times at least since that day in 2003 where I sang shaking that ass while L complained. Its a joy to be touched by film so profoundly. I even salivated at the gross out eating scenes in the town. Ay-freaking-mazing story.
