Wolf Children

Director: Mamoru Hosoda

2012 / 117min / 4K DCP

Hosoda’s second original animated feature is a startlingly original, lovingly detailed animist fantasy drama tracking the travails, over the course of more than a decade, of Hana, a woman falls in love with a werewolf as a college student and, after his death, is left to raise their two half-lupine, half-human offspring by herself, far from the prying eyes of civilization. “An intimate epic centered on the theme of motherhood… The movement of branches in the wind, rain, or snow is drawn, painted, and filmed with infinite delicacy… Far more intimate than the extravagant dreams of Miyazaki’s cinema.” —Thomas Sotinel, Le Monde
