From Up on Poppy Hill US Premiere

Goro Miyazaki's sophomore effort is part of the 2013 New York International Children's Film Festival and is showing on March 13 and 14 in dubbed form. Part of the festival blurb:

More than any Studio Ghibli film, From Up on Poppy Hill embodies a specific time and place and captures the emotional landscape of its setting. This sense of yearning and possibility is palpable (the upbeat mood is captured perfectly by the period pop music), evoking both a wide-eyed hope for the future, and a longing nostalgia for a past that can never be recovered.
