Nausicaa reports about the new book Spirited Away: BFI Film Classics by Andrew Osmond, a Berkshire based freelance film journalist, who also writes for a range of film publications including Sight and Sound, Empire and SFX. According to the article, “Andrew Osmond’s insightful study describes how Miyazaki wrote, storyboarded and directed Spirited Away with a degree of creative control undreamt of in most popular cinema, using the film’s delightful, freewheeling visual ideas to explore issues ranging from personal agency and responsibility to what Miyazaki sees as the lamentable state of modern Japan.”
