Ghibliotheque: The Unofficial Guide to the Movies of Studio Ghibli: 4 (Ghibliotheque Guides, 4)

Description

Revised and updated - includes Miyazaki's new masterpiece, The Boy and the Heron . Explore the films of magical Japanese animation masters Studio Ghibli in this film-by-film celebration for newcomers and long-time fans alike. Ghibliotheque reviews each Studio Ghibli movie in turn, in the voice of expert and newcomer. The lively text delves into production details, themes, key scenes and general reviews, as well as Ghibli-specific information. It's beautifully illustrated with stills and posters from each movie. Written by the hosts of the acclaimed Ghibliotheque podcast, this is the first and last word on the films of Studio Ghibli. Review: It's like the podcast on paper - If you're a Studio Ghibli fan you need to listen to the Ghibliotheque podcast if you haven't already. If you like the podcast (and probably even if you don't) you need this book. It covers all the Studio Ghibli films with an overview and some behind the scenes and history bits from Michael (a long time Ghibli fan) and a review by Jake (who was completely new to Ghibli when the podcast began). It's a fun read, and a great reference to have on hand. As an extra bonus it includes full page original Japanese movie posters for as many of the movies as was possible (almost all of them) and English or French for the rest. Review: Perfect gift - Perfect gift for any Ghibli / Miyazaki fan.
