We’ve added some encores to Howl’s Moving Castle, the acclaimed Studio Ghibli masterpiece, screening in its original Japanese language.
The film follows Sophie, a young woman who is mysteriously transformed into an elderly woman by a wicked witch’s curse. Seeking refuge, Sophie stumbles upon the magical, ever-moving castle of Howl, a reclusive wizard with a troubled past. As Sophie and Howl grow closer, they must confront not only the forces of war that threaten their world but also the personal battles that keep them from fully embracing their own potential.
With its masterful animation, imaginative world-building, and an all-star voice cast, Howl’s Moving Castle weaves themes of transformation, courage, and love into an unforgettable cinematic experience.
This film will be dubbed in its original Japanese language with English subtitles.
