LIZ AND THE BLUE BIRD
| by Naoko Yamada |
| |
Presented by Alex Robinson
(2018, 90 minutes, animation | drama) Liz and the Blue Bird is a 2018 Japanese animated film directed by Naoko Yamada, written by Reiko Yoshida, and produced by Kyoto Animation. Naoko Yamada was the creative face of Kyoto Animation, one of the most widely respected studios in Japan for their golden age in the 2010s. Liz and the Blue Bird is the fourth film she has made for the studio, following the massively successful A Silent Voice and the cinematic finales to her tv show's K-On! and Tamako Market. Yamada is also notable for getting into live-action cinema as much, if not more than anime. She cites Sofia Coppola, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Yasujiro Ozu as major influences on her body of work.
The film follows the complex relationship between high school seniors Mizore and Nozomi as they prepare for a concert with their school's wind band. In this concert, the two girls must play a duet based on the fairy tale 'Liz and the Blue Bird'. The film intercuts between an adaptation of the fairy tale and the story of how Mizore and Nozomi's different plans for the future affect their already unbalanced friendship. The movie got little attention outside of Japan due to an arson attack on Kyoto Animation that killed 36 employees in July of 2019 when it was supposed to have an increased US release, although it was highly acclaimed by those who saw it.
