千と千尋の神隠し

a film by Hayao Miyazaki

There are movies you grow up watching. And then there are movies your kids grow up watching. Spirited Away is from the latter category. Not exactly my favourite Miyazaki film: I myself wouldn’t choose it for a Sunday evening in. But yesterday Timur expressed a wish to re-watch it, and so we all did.

Somehow I enjoyed it more yesterday than the previous n times. The score is amazing even by Joe Hisaishi’s own standard, and the train scene is one of the most beautiful in Miyazaki’s filmography.
