Suzume

"Suzume" is cycling to school one morning when she encounters a strange young man who asks her for directions to the nearest ruin! She sends him off in the direction of a dilapidated complex and continues her journey. Gradually, though, she begins to wonder who he was and what he was up to. Quickly, she races to find him and encounters a door - sitting in the middle of a wet patio. She opens it to see another world on the other side. If she crosses the threshold, though, it becomes her own world with the other world, well, still on the other side... On the ground she notices a small carving. It looks like a cat, hang on - it is a cat - and suddenly all hell breaks loose as a giant worm tries to enter her world through the door. Luckily, her...

With a compelling story, jaw-dropping animation and impressive action sequences, Suzume is a contender for Makoto Shinkais most thrilling and enjoyable film to date.

Its an uninterrupted adventure with relentless twists and turns and no brakes. Youll easily fall in love with the films rich and detailed animation, not to mention the jazzy and stylish score provided by rock band Radwimps and composer Kazuma Jinnouchi that would make even Yoko Kanno envious.

Suffice to say, Suzume is a dazzling rabbit hole of animation and charm.
