Oh that’s wonderful, thanks so much for sharing!

It’s a really fantastic documentary. A truly fascinating man.

He’s extraordinary. Just the tonic for these dreich January days 💁‍♀️

I’m a big fan of people who just want to get to work. He knows who he is and what he’s done, but there’s so little self regard. He’s made an almost literal bubble in which he can be himself.

God, yes. So hard to do in this age. You’ve reminded me I have yet to see the latest Ghibli feature and will bookmark it for the coming weeks

I looooooved it. We saw it in the cinema. Feels like a very personal film for him, especially all the intergenerational stuff.

He is the antidote to so many people saying what they feel they should say in these things. I cannot stress the degree to which he Does. Not. Give. A. Fuck.

To him, everything is process, and trusts in his own standards and instincts. He’s at once an absolute machine, but he also mutters to…

…himself under his breath, unlit fag hanging out of his mouth, about the wretchedness and pain of the creative process constantly. He’s a truly fascinating worker-as-creator, and is more in touch with his creative soul than almost anyone I’ve ever seen.

It’s all so immediate.

Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron is also like this (unsurprisingly, on the same subject). He’s on the loo when his movie wins the Oscar!

I haven’t watched! Will look it up.

I believe it’s on Netflix UK. The amount of full frontal nudity is surprising but it’s nonetheless an emotional rollercoaster.

One thing I find fascinating is that almost everyone, when they reach the executive level, tends to stop the practice which put them there. They promote themselves out of it, to the point that it would no longer *work* for them to work. Miyazaki didn’t. He’s all about work. About practice.
