'Film discussion - The Boy and the Heron「君たちはどう生きるか」' with Dr Fabio Gygi, Dr Satona Suzuki and Dr Filippo Cervelli was an event co-hosted by the SOAS Library and the SOAS Japan Research Centre on 7th February 2024.
Join Fabio Gygi, Satona Suzuki and Filippo Cervelli as we celebrate Hayao Miyazaki's legacy and delve into Studio Ghibli's latest film, "The Boy and the Heron".
Diving into the intricacies of the film's narrative, the panel aims to unravel its themes of grief, the afterlife and coming of age. We will question the film's fidelity to the 1937 novel, considering whether it serves as a fitting adaptation.
With awards season at its height, the panel will compare Studio Ghibli's animation against other industry-leading animation studios worldwide, and reflect on its standing among cinematic peers. The looming question of whether this is Miyazaki's final contribution to the world of cinema prompts further contemplation on the future of Studio Ghibli.
