The Williams Center is pleased to host Miyazaki's latest masterpiece, in the 101-year-old Rivoli Theater!
A young boy named Mahito
yearning for his mother
ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.
There, death comes to an end,
and life finds a new beginning.
Mahito’s guide
is part-heron, part-man,
and cunningly juggles lies and the truth.
The boy makes new friends,
reunites with his mother,
and meets the world’s creator, the Granduncle.
“I’m so glad you were here.”
A semi-autobiographical fantasy
about life, death, and creation,
in tribute to friendship,
from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
*This film will be shown in it's original language with English subtitles
