When Marnie Was There w/ Ben Gierhart (Studio Ghibli, Episode 27)

from The Complete Catalog · host Tristan Ettleman

When Marnie Was There, directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, has been read through a few different lenses since its 2014 release, with many centering platonic female friendships and/or queer relationships. Theater artist and writer Ben Gierhart and Tristan tackle these nuanced themes and generally praise this downtempo and somewhat unconventional Studio Ghibli film.
