Description:

Hosoda's films have won numerous awards both at home and abroad, including "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" in 2006, which captured a glimmering slice of adolescence that comes only at a certain moment in life, and "Summer Wars" in 2009, a miraculous story about the power of human bonding to save the world from a world crisis. Mamoru Hosoda is now one of the world's most sought-after animation directors, but why do Hosoda's films appeal to people of all ages? Hosoda's films do not tell grandiose stories, nor do they depict cool heroes. They are set in a real-life town, surrounded by real-life people, and feature a protagonist who struggles and tries his best to cope with a slightly special situation. Such a life-size story is depicted with dynamic images based on a carefully thought-out scenario. That is why we feel a strong sympathy for the protagonists, seeing them as familiar to us, and we are sweaty hand in hand with their exploits. Fantastic yet realistic. That is the charm of Hosoda's works. This characteristic is also on full display in the new film "Wolf Children: Rain and Snow".
