The 100 Greatest Movies


 

For a Western world raised on Disney movies, Spirited Away was a bracing change of pace - pure, uncut Studio Ghibli. Taking in bathhouses, spirits of Shinto folklore, and morality without clear-cut distinctions of good and evil, Hayao Miyazaki's major crossover hit is distinctly Japanese. Its narrative arc and characters feel notably different to more conventional British and American animations - from the eerie, inscrutable No-Face, to sort-of-antagonist bathhouse owner Yubaba. But that's also a major reason why it connected - Spirited Away is accessible, but nothing about it feels watered down. It is, of course, utterly beautiful too - boundlessly imaginative, steeped in gorgeous colour, and stunningly scored by Joe Hisaishi. Among the cultural specificity is a coming-of-age universality in young hero Chihiro, forced to fend for herself when her parents are turned into pigs, using her resourcefulness and her friendship with boy-dragon-spirit Haku to earn her freedom from the spirit world. It's the film that brought Studio Ghibli - and anime at large - to mainstream Western audiences, an influence increasingly felt in the likes of Moana and Frozen II. Read the Empire review.
