The Tale of Princess Kaguya

★★★★★

"Takahata’s adaptation of Japan’s oldest extant narrative is at once an utterly enchanting fairytale and an engagingly critical reading of the paternalistic, anti-individualistic rationale of such myths. It is the successful balancing of these two aspects that makes The Tale of Princess Kaguya one of the best movies of the year."
