Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, The

Aroview: Priceless documentary on the inner workings of Studio Ghibli and its great 'sensei', Hayao Miyazaki, as he approaches retirement while completing his swansong film, THE WIND RISES.

At once inspiring and melancholy in its focus on Miyazaki's creative legacy and often surprising worldview, this is also an essential behind-the-scenes look at the artisanal process that goes into each Studio Ghibli anime, as well as the business behind the art, overseen by longtime (and unsung) producer Toshio Suzuki.
