A beautiful film from Takahata and Studio Ghibli. So many glorious, beautiful moments of art and story. So many sunrises and sunsets! The film's pace feels like we're wandering through the thoughts of adult Taeko. As she remembers her childhood, it informs her current self and situations. And, of course, it's the little things that stand out and bring the strongest emotions. She is a creative, free-spirited child and young woman who was forever being discouraged to pursue your dreams. A very melancholic story, emotional and honest.
