MIYAZAKI: SPIRIT OF NATURE
Léo Favier / 2024 / 82' / France
Miyazaki: Spirit of Nature immerses us in the world of Hayao Miyazaki – the legendary Japanese animator whose universe has captivated generations for over 40 years. From My Neighbor Totoro to The Boy and the Heron, his films blend magic, nature, and deep humanism. Despite global fame, Miyazaki remains an enigmatic figure. Through interviews with his son, close friends, colleagues, and thinkers like Timothy Morton, the film uncovers his complex personality, creative journey, and the philosophy behind his imagery. Though filled with magical creatures, cat buses, and spirits, Miyazaki’s films are firmly rooted in reality – echoing themes of war, ecology, and a sharp critique of human greed.
