Omschrijving

Through films like Children Who Chase Lost Voices, Your Name, Weathering with You and Suzume Shinkai has built a body of work that bears his own signature, steering away both from more action-packed anime films, as well as from Ghibli-inspired fantasy films. Shinkai’s films have a quietness of their own and focus on young protagonists finding their way in the world, often with the uncertainties of modern life as their backdrop.

5 Centimeters per Second tells the story of Takaki and Akari’s friendship, which is put to the test when one of them moves away. In The Garden of Words, a teenager who skips school and a woman who avoids going to her job meet in a public park on rainy days. What unites these films is Shinkai’s subtle approach to emotions like loss, longing and uncertainty. 5 Centimeter per Second and The Garden of Words are essential viewing for all Makoto Shinkai fans.
