This is the rare film that will stop and luxuriate in the beauty of moments. The director and cinematographer exhibit a sheer love of filmmaking in a way that today's Hollywood never would, or could. Deeply atmospheric and intimate, this is a film that captures our senses. We become immersed so subtly and totally that it can seem at times almost voyeuristic, as if we may be privy to too much of the characters' personal lives as we become absorbed in the daily challenges and beauty unfolding around them. "Call Me Chihiro" is a slow burn that is well worth your time. What a pleasure it is to come across this testament that the art of film making is not dead.
