If you loved Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki, try Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kaku Arakawa, and they both carry the cerebral, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron is
Studio Ghibli’s seven-year odyssey on The Boy and the Heron gets the fly-on-the-wall treatment. Miyazaki’s unfiltered creative process unfolds in real time, from first sketches to final frames. A rare glimpse behind the myth, fronted by the man himself.
