Why watch this film?

Although Studio Ghibli has many acclaimed and beloved films, such as 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Princess Mononoke', none have come close to the impact of 'Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi'. Winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, this Hayao Miyazaki gem mixes Japanese folklore and mythology with Chihiro's journey, a little girl who moves to the countryside with her parents. Powerful in its message and metaphors, the feature film does not spare itself from creating visual spectacles, memorable monsters and narrative jokes so that the viewer can not only passively watch Chihiro's transformation, but also feel it, understand it and internalize it. A mature film that should make sense to the older ones, hammering in their heads for days and days.
