Movie Night: The Secret World of Arrietty【借りぐらしのアリエッティ】

Tonight, Friday September 14, at 6:30pm, CUJA is holding the first Movie Night of the year!

To open up with our series of Movie Nights, we will be showing The Secret World of Arrietty. The anime is a 2010 product of Studio Ghibli, what is known as the Walt Disney of Japan which brought us the Academy Award winning Spirited Away.

The film tells the story of Arrietty, a young Borrower who lives under the floorboards of a typical household. She eventually befriends Sho, a human boy with a heart condition since birth who is living with his great aunt Sadako. When Sadako’s maid Haru becomes suspicious of the floorboard’s disturbance, Arrietty and her family must escape detection, even if it means leaving their beloved home.

The movie will be in Japanese with English subtitles so this will be a great way to practice your language for those who are studying Japanese.

We hope to see you all.
