“A superb example of animation in the service of naturalism and neo-realism.” – Daniel Thomas
On the way from Tokyo to his hometown for a high school reunion, a man reminisces back to the ill-fated love affair he had with a temperamental classmate years previous.
Showing that anime can be as effective a medium for expressing low-key, human stories as it is for science-fiction sagas and fantasy fables, Ocean Waves (also known as I Can Hear the Sea) was the first Studio Ghibli production not helmed by Hayao Miyazaki or Isao Takahata.
