Anime Month

Bangkok's Jam Cafe is hosting an Anime season this month, as part of its regular Cult Movie Night event. (Previous Cult Movie Night seasons have included 'So Bad It's Good' Month, Philip Seymour Hoffman Month, and Noir Month.)

Tonight's Anime Month screening is Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbour Totoro, one of Miyazaki's most beloved films. His later works - such as Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, and particularly Spirited Away - have achieved international recognition, though in Japan Miyazaki is still best known for the magical innocence of My Neighbour Totoro.
