The Boy and the Heron

The Boy and the Heron

Note

I could watch the warawara all day.

what an quixoticly imaginative and slightly scary world to get lost in.

as usual, these films dont play good vs bad. the shades of blue heron gray loom large, allowing for space to just be in all its glory and sad mess and frustration.
