THE BOY AND THE HERON
Hiyao Miyazaki / Japan 2023 / 124 min / Cert 12A / Subtitles
Hiyao Miyazaki's first film in 10 years. The Boy and Hero is set in 1940s wartime Japan and follows the story of Mahito a twelve year-old boy who has lost his mother and moves with his father to a new rural town, following his father's re-marriage. There Mahito struggles to fit in, then meets a talking heron who leads him into a forbidden tower and then on into a fantastical world full of strange animals and magical characters that echo the world he has left. A coming-of-age story, The Boy and the Heron explores grief, acceptance, and redemption. A strikingly beautiful densely detailed fantasy (The Guardian).
