I'd never make it as a film cricket
Howl's Moving Castle.
This film deserves me to tell The Internets that you should go and see it. It's heart-achingly beautiful. If you've seen Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away, these are also similar films by Miyazake, sort of Shinto fairy-tale stuff. Childrens' movies? I guess. Sigh. Yes, everyone tells each other they love them at the end, and the monsters turn into heroes, and yeah, yeah... aw, but so sweet.
I could watch it again, even. It's all hand-drawn, there's an amazing amount of detail packed into every image, little funny things happening in the background, totally absorbing. Perfectly paced, 100% wrapped up in the story, eventually noticed the fire exit sign near the screen after an hour, and thought "still in the real world? ... no thank you". Miyazakiland please, where true love is all you need to overcome any obstacle. Feel the fresh air in the magic anime meadows.
It's in the QFT (yeah, so it might be slightly out of focus from time to time, but at least there's mega comfy seats, and a bar) but only until Thursday.
I'd never been to the cinema by myself before, but then again, indie is short for independent.
