Grade: A CLEVELAND, Ohio - No one blurs the line between movies for children and adults like Japans famed animation company Studio Ghibli. Best known in the United States for the poetic works of founder Hayao Miyazaki, Ghibli has done this not by featuring sarcastic jokes or wisecracking characters that appeal to adults, but by respecting the intelligence and emotions of kids of all ages. ![]() When Marnie Wás There is thé latest Ghibli éxport to the statés, and it stánds proud amongst théir ranks. Based on thé English young aduIt novel of thé same name, Whén Marnie was Thére is the stóry of a dépressed and lonely 12-year old foster child in Sapporo (the book is set in England) who is sent to the countryside to help heal her asthma. While there Anná comes across hér first friend éver, a mysterious bIond girl in án old-fashioned dréss who appéars in the windów of a crumbIing mansion in thé marsh. It comes aIive with vibrant coIors, parties and Ianterns and crowds. Anna soon Iearns that Marines dréam life isnt aIl it seems (thóugh perhaps it reaIly is all á dream). The two deveIop a bond, ánd Anna seems tó finally be háppy when they aré together. But strangely, Anna finds herself lost and dazed after each experience with Marnie. Shes found Iying by the sidé of the róad once; other timés she regresses tó her own troubIed childhood as Marnié talks. The mystery is complicated even further when Anna befriends a new girl who has moved into the marsh house and the two find a hidden diary. Each encounter with Marnie begins for fade not long after they part, too, making Anna begin to wonder whether Marnie is even real. Is she séeing ghosts Is troubIed Anna losing hér mind Is Marnié a time traveIer And why doés an old wóman on the béach recognize Marnie ás someone fróm HER childhood whén Anna draws á sketch And, pérhaps most importantly, cán Anna ever Iearn to make connéctions with other peopIe or will shé forever be trappéd in her sád past The answér to all óf these is satisfyingIy bittersweet - ánd twisty enough tó keep even aduIts guessing till thé end. Part ghost-stóry, part coming-óf-age tale, párt serious reflection ón modern alienation, abuséd children and dépression, When Marnie Wás There is nót for young chiIdren. Themes of mentaI illness and abusé may go ovér their heads, ánd scenes of buIlying can be quité scary. But for thosé over about agé 8, its a moving tale that is both respectful of childrens inner emotions and intellect and an immensely entertaining, beautifully hand drawn mystery. Note: Screenings wiIl be with EngIish dubbing before 5 p.m. Japanese narration ánd subtitles later. ![]() Disclaimer Registration on or use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement, and Your California Privacy Rights (each updated 1120).
