Hayao Miyazaki | 2023 | Japan | 124’

Hayao Miyazaki's fantastical journey and unexpected box office success tells of a young boy who follows a talking crane into a magical alternate world. Touching on themes seen in his earlier works: unimaginably magical worlds, visits from strangers, and children processing grief, The Boy and The Heron will be adored equally by die-hard Miyazaki fans and those exploring Studio Ghibli's work for the first time. Robert Pattinson (The Batman, Tenet, The Lighthouse) voices a wonderfully bizarre talking crane and Luca Padovan (You) wows as the lead.
