In this Corner of the World is a creative collage of brilliant animation, strong characters and compelling storytelling. Director and writer Sunao Katabuchi brings us a profound and overwhelming tale that is nothing short of heartbreakingly beautiful.
With recent works such as A Silent Voice, The Red Turtle and Your Name topping the charts, many of us are becoming familiar with Japanese animation and can’t wait for our next dose. Up next to tug (quite hard) on our heart strings, begins life as a gentle family drama – until World War II explodes and the enviable events in Hiroshima implode before our eyes.
Of course, if one is familiar with the famous Studio Ghibli; Takahata’s war-torn Grave of the Fireflies immediately springs to mind as Katabuchi serves up a hefty chunk of sentiment; though there is a distinct difference here placing them at opposite ends of the spectrum.
