Trailer for The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness

Granted near-unfettered access to the notoriously insular Studio Ghibli, director Mami Sunada follows the three men who are the lifeblood of Ghibli Â the eminent director Hayao Miyazaki, the producer Toshio Suzuki, and the elusive and influential Â“other directorÂ” Isao Takahata Â over the course of a year as the studio rushes to complete two films, MiyazakiÂ’s The Wind Rises and TakahataÂ’s The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. The result is a rare Â“fly on the wallÂ” glimpse of the inner workings of one of the worldÂ¹s most celebrated animation studios, and an insight into the dreams, passion and singular dedication of these remarkable creators.
