Editor’s Notes: Miyazaki, Spirit of Nature (2025) remains true to its documentary roots without falling into clichés. Under Léo Favier’s direction, the narrative stays focused, prioritizing character moments over unnecessary flair. The contributions from Hayao and Goro Miyazaki, as well as Hiromasa Yonebayashi, lend emotional depth to the film. With a runtime of 1 hour and 24 minutes, it maintains a steady pace and rarely lingers on scenes longer than needed. Although it has its imperfections, the film’s strengths more than compensate. If this topic resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
