Synopsis

Hayao Miyazaki is the creator of 11 feature films, a luminous body of work filled with characters—such as the forest spirit Totoro—that have become cult icons. Yet they come from an artist deeply troubled by the state of the world. His films, often autobiographical in nature, also reflect the torments of the 20th century. Thanks to exceptional access to numerous film excerpts and rare archives, we discover not only the life of Hayao Miyazaki but also a profoundly ecological body of work that questions our relationship with the natural world and all living beings. Thinkers like anthropologist Philippe Descola, as well as those close to him—his son Goro Miyazaki, now a filmmaker himself, and Toshio Suzuki, his lifelong friend and producer—tell the story of this unique, tireless, obsessive, and mysterious artist.
