宮崎駿監督のフォーカス

This one’s better than the Lupin III first movie, but not by much. I just kept waiting for something more to happen but it never did: Kiki is a witch (OK that’s cool) and she has a delivery service and she does deliveries (yup, that’s all, folks). This came out a little over a year after the excellent Totoro and it feels rushed and extremely sleight in comparison. It’s also WAY more childish-seeming (and I realize this is a bone of contention to a degree, because all of his work — save a few entries — are clearly geared towards kids). His next movie is about an Italian pig who is also a World War I ex-fighter pilot ace, so we got that going for us.
