Hayao Miyazaki releases mystery final film.
Fri Jul 14, 2023 7:07 am
Friday saw How Do You Live come out in Japanese cinemas - the latest and ostensibly last film from renowned animation director Hayao Miyazaki.
It is hard to overstate the influence of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, the animation studio he co-founded with the late director Isao Takahata.
Three of Miyazaki's films - Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle - all feature in Japan's 10 highest-grossing films, and he has inspired generations of both animation and live-action filmmakers in Japan and around the world.
His 2001 film Spirited Away won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards. Miyazaki himself was given the Academy's Honorary Award in 2014.
How Do You Live (Kimitachi wa Do Ikiru ka) takes its title from the 1937 novel by Genzaburo Yoshino, but its story is a wholly original one, penned by Miyazaki.
The film is set in Japan during World War Two and centres around a young boy named Mahito whose mother is killed in a fire.
Shortly thereafter his father, who works in a factory producing fighter planes, marries his late wife's younger sister Natsuko, and moves the family to her large ancestral home in the countryside.
Mahito, who is resentful of Natsuko for taking his mother's place, begins to explore the area around the house and discovers a mysterious tower which he is told not to enter.
He also encounters a grey heron that can speak (as seen on the film's poster) who claims Mahito's mother is in fact alive and in the tower waiting to be rescued. Mahito dismisses this claim, but when his new stepmother disappears into the tower he decides to rescue her.
Once he enters, he is transported into an alternate world full of magic where his quest brings him into contact with new friends and enemies alike.
The film is full of Miyazaki's signature obsessions, quirks and thematic concerns. There are the usual visual treats, like cute yet eerie creatures, great-looking food and gravity-defying flights of fancy - primarily hand-drawn and moving with the fluidity and sense of weight that mark the master animator's work.
Thematically, as in films like Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away, How Do You Live is a coming-of-age tale in which a child must overcome his selfishness and learn to live for others.
