The Film Programme - Animé

This week on BBC Radio 4's The Film Programme Francine Stock discusses the growing reverence for Anime, the cinematic form of the Japanese comic book style manga. The Cambridge Film Festival will screen the British premiere of Howl's Moving Castle, the latest film by the legendary Anime director Hayao Miyazaki. It is an adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones' fantastical story about a girl who is turned into an old lady.
