Featured Film:

When Marnie Was There at the SIFF Egyptian

In what is quite possibly to be the last film produced by the legendary Studio Ghibli, director Hiromasa Yonebayashi (The Secret World of Arrietty) adapts the lush hand-drawn animation style of founder Hayao Miyazaki to the world of English Gothic literature. Half ghost story, half romance, half coming of age tale, it’s as close as Ghibli has ever come to capturing the spirit of Val Lewton. Curse of the Cat People is I think its closest analogue, though Mike suggests Joseph L. Mankiewicz in Our Preview.
