Animated

Shizuku, a somewhat withdrawn high school student who prefers literature to cramped and noisy reality, is intrigued: a boy named Seiji has borrowed the same three books as her from the school library. The teenagers get to know each other, and soon the lonely, thoughtful young man inspires his friend to write a novel herself.

Shot from Mimi o Sumaseba, 1995

Whisper of the Heart is every bit as soulful and thoughtful as the work of director Yoshifumi Kondo’s mentors.

— Kambole Campbell, Little White Lies

The animation film depicts the 1990s Tokyo’s urban life in all its chaos and at the same time impresses with the thoroughness with which the director brings to life the feelings and desires of the young characters yearning for adulthood.
