  Hayao Miyazaki: Beyond...

  Hayao Miyazaki created some of the most unforgettable worlds in modern animation. Behind them is the story of a man shaped by war, fascinated by flight, devoted to drawing, and unwilling to accept simple answers about people, nature, or progress. 
  Born in Tokyo in 1941, Miyazaki grew up surrounded by the contradictions that would later define his work: beautiful aircraft built for war, a rapidly changing Japan, family illness, and a childhood imagination filled with machines, books, and drawings. 
  From his early years at Toei Animation and his creative partnership with Isao Takahata to the founding of Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki gradually developed a form of storytelling unlike anything around him. Films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and The Boy and the Heron would eventually reach audiences around the world. 
  But his life was never simply a story of success. 
  Miyazaki could be demanding, pessimistic, stubborn, and endlessly dissatisfied with his own work. He announced his retirement more than once, only to return to the drawing table when another idea refused to leave him alone. 
  Hayao Miyazaki: Beyond Imagination follows the artist behind the films—from a boy watching airplanes in wartime Japan to an elderly filmmaker still searching for the next drawing. 
  It is a story about imagination, discipline, contradiction, and a lifetime spent creating worlds while never losing sight of the complicated one outside the studio.

  Time of My Life The: Dirty Dancing

  An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights 
   
  When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving. 
   
  In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.

  The Point!

  Missing everything but the point: visual poetry celebrating excitement! 
  The exclamation point is much maligned. It’s bad style. It’s like laughing at your own joke. It screams, it yells, it’s hysterical, it’s maybe even embarrassingly obsequious. 
  Nasser Hussain disagrees! What’s so bad about expressing enthusiasm? What if you really need to scream? The prescriptions of ‘style’ can feel like an artificial limit placed on our language, insisting we produce a bland monotone that trades on its appearance as rational, subdued, civilized discourse. Against this, The Point!, where poetry bangs its head against this veneer of rationality. Poetry, it insists, is exciting! Is, maybe, excitement itself! 
  The Point! is composed using only exclamation marks, seeking to reclaim the dignity of the bang’s and explore its expressive possibilities. Against the well-known derision of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Elmore Leonard, and Gertrude Stein, Hussain uses the exclamation point to make a point: let’s celebrate the possibility of enthusiasm!
