Finally. After what has seemed like an eternity of waiting, Studio Ghibli is teasing the arrival of legendary Hayao Miyazaki’s new film, tentatively-titled How Do You Live? And as part of this teaser, we now know the film will arrive in Japan on July 14th 2023.

Details on the film have been kept quiet, but we do know it’ll be based on Genzaburo Yoshino’s novel about a 15-year-old boy and the support, wisdom, and spiritual guidance through life that he receives from his uncle.
Miyazaki is a legend in the field of animation, having influenced generations of filmmakers with films such as Princess Mononoke, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and so many more. He retired briefly in 2013 after the release of my favorite movie of his, The Wind Rises, which earned an Oscar nomination that year…and should’ve won. Just sayin’.
