Resourceful Kiki calms my soul. Yes, for some
reason she does that and in a foreign land that a whole lot resembles Sweden,
the capital Stockholm and the medieval city wall of Visby, Gotland, with some
flavour of an austrian or a hungarian town.
Even though Kiki's a witch and the cover promises action, she's mostly doing
her young-witch apprenticeship in a calm and
orderly way.This film is absolutely beautiful, it's soothing and about growing
up. Kiki see's her human-cat fall in love an turn
into a cat-cat, and they're both leaving childhood behind and with that their
(childrens?) magic capacity to communicate.
Kiki delivers bread from a bakery, help people and meets an annoying boy,
this screaming boy's the only noisy thing in this film.
The street portal on the cover is instantly recognizable for every Stockholm
citizen as that on Kungsgatan in the middle of the
City and there's also some scenes from Gamla Stan - Old Town. There's firs
and some fine northern type european crows.
So, this resourceful young witch Kiki calms my soul and this is my favourite
Miyazaki film, and it's not a childrens film as i'm
sure youngsters would get bored by the slow pace.
