Isao Takahata and His Tale of the Princess Kaguya
For his first film in fourteen years animation director Isao Takahata embarked on a visually sumptuous adaptation of "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya". A dream project for the director that would hopefully establish the recently formed Ghibli Studio 7, created to meet the demands of a new type of modern animation process. But almost immediately the epic production is faced with difficulties and falls dramatically behind schedule. In this compelling and insightful documentary we follow Isao Takahata and his dedicated team of artists as they frantically strive against adversity to make their vision a reality and bring Studio Ghibli into a new Era.

Reviews
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
This Japanese documentary, as the title would suggest, is a making-of companion piece to the Studio Ghibli movie THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA. It goes hand-on-hand with a similar documentary about Hayao Miyazaki made around the same time called THE KINGDOM OF DREAMS AND MADNESS. Both documentaries provide invaluable insights into how Studio Ghibli works and the sheer amount of effort that goes into each of their productions.Watching this film, it becomes immediately apparent just what a labour of love KAGUYA was for its director. Isao Takahata is a quirky character for sure, a man who takes an age to do the simplest task, and yet he has a magical imagination that makes him something of a genius. This documentary follows a simple structure, beginning with the background and following the making of the film in a chronological order, and there's something beauty about its simple structure. Ghibli fans will be in their element.
