A Letter to Momo
Quote:
Seven years in the making, the exquisitely crafted A Letter to Momo is the highly anticipated second feature from world-renowned anime director Hiroyuki Okiura, whose 1999 film Jin-Roh met with international acclaim.
Clinging to an unfinished letter written by her recently deceased father, Momo learns that the strange and supernatural things happening on Shio Island are connected in some way to her father's mysterious letter. A sensitive coming-of-age story that deals with loss and imagination.

The film is making its world premiere at the
Toronto International Film Festival, and tickets for one showing have already sold out - so if you're in the area, get to it! I have already bought tickets for the September 18th showing and will report on it for all of you.
Jin-Roh was an excellent film on the mature side, and it looks like Okiura is trying out Ghibli territory now, with a gentle film that is friendly to all demographics.
