Description:

Isao Takahata's first new film in 14 years. And the most ambitious work in Ghibli's history. The true story of Princess Kaguya as depicted by Studio Ghibli. Studio Ghibli depicts the true and real Princess Kaguya. She was born in bamboo, grew up to be a beautiful girl, rejected her suitors one after another, and on the night of the full moon, she left for the moon with a messenger who came to pick her up. Why did she come to earth and why did she return to the moon? What did she think about while living here? What was Kaguyahime's crime and what was her punishment? The film "The Tale of Kaguyahime" portrays the truth of Kaguyahime, the human being hidden in Japan's oldest story, by depicting her "heart" that no one has ever known, while maintaining the plot of the "Kaguyahime" that everyone knows. This film is directed by Isao Takahata, the animation film director who created "Heidi, Girl of the Alps," "Anne of Green Gables," "Grave of the Fireflies," "Omohide Poroporo," and many other works that laid the foundation of Japanese animation. This is Takahata's first new work in 14 years. The film is the first new work by Isao Takahata in 14 years, and is the result of his persistent pursuit of digital techniques to the utmost limit, as he continues to create works that transcend the framework of conventional animation films.
