I've said many times over that The Wind Rises is my favourite Ghibli film, but isn't its visual style so utterly conventional compared to Isao Takahata's subsequent offering? So I've found myself thinking largely the same. There's a real contrast in objectives there, which really does interest me.Absolutely so. Neither man had stagnated by that point in their careers at all, and I find it very telling that these two films are my outright favourites by each director. Both features are so ambitious, but in entirely different ways.Some thoughts on today's film coming next.</blockquote>
