[SEN TO CHIHIRO NO KAMIKAKUSHI] [千と千尋の神隠し]
Teeming with mythical beasts and complex characters, Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and the Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature and held the record for the highest-grossing film in Japan's history until 2020. While out exploring, a young girl strays from her parents and stumbles into the spirit world, and is conscripted into working in a fabulous bathhouse where all manner of magical creatures come to relax. Now she must work hard and live by her wits to navigate the perils of her weird workplace and find her way home. "An out-and-out charmer. It's almost impossible to do justice in words either to the visual richness of the movie or to the character-filled storyline." – Derek Elley, Variety.
