(Japan/1991—directed by Isao Takahata)
It’s 1982, and Taeko (voiced by Daisy Ridley of The Force Awakens) is 27 years old, unmarried, and has lived her whole life in Tokyo. She decides to visit her relatives in the countryside, and as the train travels through the night, memories flood back of her younger years; soon she begins to revisit her childhood dreams, wondering if she’s been true to them. This is a newly restored, English-language version of Takahata’s masterpiece, created in celebration of its 25th anniversary. (118 min.)
