Film Details

Japan’s legendary Studio Ghibli, home of the great animator Hayao Miyazaki (now retired), is seen from the inside in this fascinating, revealing documentary that was shot during the production of Miyazaki’s final feature, The Wind Rises. “Building to an emotional wallop that’s almost on par with anything found in one of Miyazaki’s films, The Kingdom Of Dreams And Madness is pornographically interesting for Studio Ghibli fans; as a delicate depiction of the artistic spirit, it’s equally essential viewing for everyone else.” –The A.V. Club.
