Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art by Susan J. Napier

5.0

I started watching Studio Ghibli movies by Miyazaki somewhere back in 2016 when my brother started becoming interested in Japanese film. I was mesmerized by Nausicaa, in tears from The Wind Rises, and laughing at Ponyo over the last 8 years or so. I have slowly watched almost all of his movies, and by some miracle saw that this book was written. I read it over a month, but feel like I will keep looking back on it every time I re-watch another one of these masterpieces. For any Miyazaki fan who likes to read, this book is such a fun and whole hearted analysis for you to keep in mind next time you say you are a fan of animated movies.
