Japanese animated cinema goes beyond Studio Ghibli. Mamoru Hosoda brings a new gem with the tale of Scarlet, a princess in Denmark at the end of the 16th century, caught between the living and the dead, seeking to avenge her father’s death. The film’s narrative and visual ambition on loss, forgiveness, and resilience, with manga-like graphic elements that blend epic action and emotional power, is astounding.
From Mamoru Hosoda. 1 hour 52 minutes.
