FAMILY FILM: When Marnie Was There (U)

Dir: Hiromasa Yonebayashi | Japan | 2014 | 103 mins
Voice cast | Hailee Steinfeld, Kiernan Shipka, Kathy Bates, Geena Davis, John C. Reilly

This is a Japanese language film with subtitles.

From legendary Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli, Arrietty director Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s When Marnie Was There is a nostalgic and overwhelmingly moving story as well as another superb artistic achievement. Anna, a young girl and keen artist, is sent to live with relatives on the coast to recover from an illness. Out walking one day, she befriends Marnie, who lives in an old mansion. Sometimes this strange house looks new, clean and full of guests; at other times it’s empty and dilapidated. Which is real? Why are Anna’s dreams being invaded? And what is Marnie’s secret?

With all the imaginative narrative complexity and visual grace that’s made the studio’s reputation, this is a lovely, wistful drama about the intensity of friendship that feels like a book illustration brought to life.
