Chihiro takes a job at the spirits’ bathhouse in order to save her parents and find a way home.  Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and starring Rumi Hiiragi, Spirited Away was released July 20, 2021. <a href="https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/spirited-away" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Where to watch Spirited Away.</a>Scene: 52:00-1:06:35On Chihiro’s first day of work, she is tasked with washing the bathhouse's stinkiest guest, who turns out to be much more than meets the eye (or nose, for that matter).Links<ul><li><a href="https://www.polygon.com/animation-cartoons/2020/5/26/21270413/princess-mononoke-hayao-miyazaki-movies-harvey-weinstein-katana-story-studio-ghibli" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"No cuts"</a></li><li><a href="https://time.com/6081937/spirited-away-changed-animation-studio-ghibli/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">How Spirited Away Changed Animation Forever</a></li><li><a href="http://www.mediafactory.org.au/sophia-akenson-klein/2017/04/30/miyazakis-ma-and-the-development-of-space/#:~:text=The%20%E2%80%9CMa%E2%80%9D%20that%20occurs%20in,to%20out%2Dspan%20its%20characters." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Miyazaki and the concept of "ma"</a></li><li><a href="https://gkids.com/ghiblifest/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ghibli Fest</a></li></ul>Recommendations<ul><li>Tim: Only Yesterday (Takahata, 1991)—<a href="https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/only-yesterday" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">where to watch</a></li><li>Tay:  The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya (Takahata, 2013)—<a href="https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/the-tale-of-the-princess-kaguya" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">where to watch</a></li></ul>Next episode: Se7en (Fincher, 1995)—<a href="https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/se7en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">where to watch</a>Follow: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sscpod/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SSC on Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://letterboxd.com/tim_stacey/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tim on Letterboxd</a></li> </ul>
