The Boy and the Heron

A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death and creation, in tribute to friendship from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki. 

NOTE: we will be screening both the original Japanese language version (‘sub’) and the English dubbed edition (‘dub’) of THE BOY AND THE HERON at Triskel Arts Centre.

“Miyazaki has gifted the world with another film, the elegant, beautiful, soaring and deeply personal The Boy and the Heron.” Chicago Sun Times
