Only Yesterday

时值1982年,27岁的妙子至今未婚,一直在东京生活。她决定前往乡间探访亲戚,当列车在夜色中穿行,少女时代的记忆汹涌而来:情窦初开的懵懂悸动、青春期的悄然降临,还有数学课与男生带来的烦恼。抵达车站后,年轻的农场主俊雄前来迎接。与他的相遇,逐渐唤醒了妙子那些被遗忘的渴望。在现在与过去的诗意切换中,妙子审视着自己的人生轨迹,不禁叩问:她是否活成了童年时期待的模样?[GKIDS]
I was a little cold on Isao Takahata after seeing Grave of the Fireflies. That just didn't quite move me as much as Miyazaki's films but I was pleasantly surprised by Only Yesterday.
It had a lot of heart, the English voice acting was great and I don't think I've ever disliked the animation from a Studio Ghibli film. Watching Taeko reminisce about her past while vacationing in the present makes for a really well structured story and one that will stay with you after the credits roll.
Takahata was able to capture some of that Miyazaki magic and pull on your heart strings.
