Negative Positive
Title: a good sum-up
Review: Miyazaki is my favorite director, so I tend to carry this book around with me everywhere and pull it out whenever I'm at a loss for words to describe his films, which is, of course, everytime -how can you put words to beauty like that?! With about 5 pages of full color stills from his films, as well as a chapter on each of his major films, this is the perfect way to get an impression of his entire body of work. Particularly good for the new fan who just stumbled upon "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away" and wants an idea of what else this genious has done.I am, however in agreement with these other reviewers about the content. This isn't for the hardcore fan who wants every detail about the "master at work" so to speak. It isn't a book about Miyazaki so much as a book about his films. The behind-the-scenes pieces on some of the DVDs would be a better place to look right now. We're still waiting for a book like that.
Is the review positive or negative?
