The Boy and the Heron
What: Movie
Where: In theatres
When: Fri., Dec. 8
Genre: Family/Animation
Why you should watch: A new Hayao Miyazaki film is a true cinematic event. The director’s works (from Spirited Away to Princess Mononoke) are some of the most imaginative, visually stunning and emotional animated films ever made. His latest, The Boy and the Heron follows a lonely young boy who has moved to the countryside following his father’s remarriage. There, he finds himself stalked by a strange grey heron who may know something about the boy’s late mother. Beautiful, complex and unexpected, The Boy and the Heron is an existentialist fantasy about family and discovering your place in the world.
