THE STUDIO GHIBLI COLLECTION
ISAO TAKAHATA’S
ONLY YESTERDAY
OUT TO OWN ON DVD SEPTEMBER 4
Available at last in the UK, this anime feature is another treat from the
director of Grave of the Fireflies and the studio that created Spirited Away.
Realising that she is at a crossroads in her life, bored twenty-something office
worker Taeko heads for the countryside. The trip dredges up forgotten
memories: the first stirrings of childish romance, puberty and growing up, the
frustrations of maths and boys. In lyrical switches between the present and the
past, Taeko wonders if she has been true to the dreams of her childhood self.
Beautifully evoking both the 1960s and 1980s, Only Yesterday is a double
period piece, and the quintessential drama of Japanese school-day nostalgia.
Directed by Isao Takahata and produced by Hayao Miyazaki, it is a classic of the
anime medium and the last movie from the world-beating Studio Ghibli
catalogue previously unreleased in the United Kingdom… until now.
