Only Yesterday w/ Marta McFly (Studio Ghibli, Episode 11)

With Only Yesterday, Studio Ghibli’s 1991 film, director Isao Takahata took a number of creative liberties and experimented outside the bounds of typical animation processes of the day. As writer and critic Marta McFly (host of Rewind and Revive) and Tristan discuss, this approach is the basis of a reflective piece with universal empathy on growing up, centered on a young girl’s, then woman’s, experience.
