Matter Out of Place (2006)
Good month for filmgoers in New York: while Film Forum, the West-side NYC film mecca, brings us the filmography of French master, Robert Bresson, the good people at IFC continue to run Japan’s beloved Studio Ghibli’s catalog, including the internationally acclaimed “Spirited Away.” Above you’ll find a link to Susan J. Napier’s cultural analysis of the film, courtesy of JSTOR and The Society of Japanese Studies. (If you’re new to the film and Mizayaki’s critical perspective, as I am, it comes highly recommended.)
