Screening of Studio Ghibli's 1995 coming-of-age classic 'Whisper of the Heart', with an English dub screening on 30 October and a Japanese version with English subtitles on 4 November.
Studio 74 at Exeter Phoenix is screening Whisper of the Heart on Friday 30 October and Wednesday 4 November, so you've got two chances to catch it. The first is the English dub at 3.30pm on the Friday; the second is the original Japanese with English subtitles at 5.20pm on the Wednesday. Both run 111 minutes.
It's a 1995 coming-of-age classic from Studio Ghibli, directed by Yoshifumi Kondō. The story follows Shizuku Tsukishima, a middle-school bookworm with her head in the clouds, whose life takes a turn after a chance encounter with a mysterious cat leads her towards her own true talent. Along the way she meets Seiji Amasawa, a boy determined to follow his dream of becoming a violin maker, while an antique shop figurine known as the Baron watches over them both and guides her to listen to the whispers of her heart.
Behind the scenes, the film was scripted and story-boarded by Hayao Miyazaki, and it's widely regarded as one of the studio's masterpieces. If you're a fan of Ghibli's quieter, more grounded side, this is one of their best examples.
