About this book

An insightful study of the popular Japanese anime film, Spirited Away. Osmond explores how veteran film-maker Hayao Miyazaki wrote, storyboarded and directed the film, and how he kept firm creative control over the entire process. Osmond also considers the visual language, issues addressed in the film and Miyazaki's previous work.
