Japan anime w/d Makoto Shinkai
A more conventional anime than several of his others. We follow a young girl as she enters an underground land (Agartha) where the dead and all sorts of disparate creatures live. Her motives are unclear, even to her...but she eventually says she had been lonely.
The film takes place in the same fantastical world used by Ghibli, Miyazaki and others. The visuals here were lovely but because of the fast pace he lingered less on some stunning landscape or other...a feature I particularly enjoyed in several previous films.
Although I see this as a lesser work it still easily held my interest for two hours...a testament to his writing and character skills.
