ARRIETTY
(KARIGURASHI NO ARRIETTY)
"ARRIETTY, the latest film from critically acclaimed Japanese production company Studio Ghibli, breathes new life into the classic story of the Borrowers, a race of tiny people who live unseen in the houses of big folk like us and ‘borrow’ what they need to survive. Transposing the Borrowers’ story from Leighton Buzzard to suburban Japan, director Hiromasa Yonebayashi has created an enchanting film which leaves previous adaptations in the shade and more than deserves its place in the exalted Ghibli canon. ARRIETTY is an incomparably beautiful story which effortlessly draws the viewer into a rarified world where a bay leaf makes a decent raincoat and cockroaches are the size of (shiny, aggressive and antennaed) Shetland ponies. Delicate, thoughtful and visually unmatched by almost anything we can think of, this is a very special film indeed." (www.bestforfilm.com)
