The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness

Directed by Mami Sunada

The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness provides a rare fly-on-the-wall look at the inner workings of Studio Ghibli, one of the world’s most enigmatic and successful animation studios. The documentary follows eminent director Hayao Miyazaki, producer Toshio Suzuki, and the elusive and influential “other director” Isao Takahata, as the studio rushes to complete two films, The Wind Rises and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. The result is an entertaining insight into the dreams, passion and singular dedication of these remarkable creators.
