Your Name. (2016)

Your Name. (2016) — Animation / Drama / Fantasy Directed by Makoto Shinkai; music by Radwimps. Overview: Mitsuha, a high-school girl in a quiet mountain town, longs for a different life in Tokyo. Taki, a Tokyo teen juggling school and a part‑time job, dreams of being somewhere else. One morning they wake up in each other’s bodies. What begins as awkward comedy and clumsy notes left to cover for each other slowly becomes a deep, uncanny bond. As a dazzling comet arcs across the sky, their connection deepens into a search for one another — but time and fate complicate everything. What you’ll experience: - Stunning, detailed animation and night‑sky photography that make both Tokyo and rural Japan feel alive and memorable. - A blend of lighthearted body‑swap humor and quietly building romantic longing. - An emotionally charged, bittersweet mystery that shifts from charming to urgent; expect both smiles and tears. - A moving, modern soundtrack that heightens the film’s dreamlike and cinematic moments. - Themes of memory, destiny, and the small threads that tie people together — delivered with visual poetry and emotional payoff. Perfect for fans of romantic fantasy and visually rich storytelling who want a film that balances wonder, melancholy, and hope.
