Description
In Now Go, Karl Thomas Smith enters the emotional waters to interrogate not only how Studio Ghibli navigates grief but how these works have informed his own understanding of its manifold faces, weaving cornerstone films and characters – including My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, The Boy and the Heron, and more – with his own life and the broader human experience of loss.
Filled with magic and mystery, Ghibli films act as a beacon in the dark, illuminating the path ahead of us.
