Your Name. (10th Anniversary)

About this event

Dir. Makoto Shinkai. 2016, 106 mins. DCP. In Japanese with English subtitles. MoMI brings Shinkai’s 2016 beloved animated fantasy Your Name. back to the big screen on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. On the eve of a rare cosmic event—the passing of a once-in-a-lifetime comet—two high school students, strangers living separate lives, suddenly switch places. Mitsuha wakes up in Taki’s body and he, hers. Communicating through scribbled notes and phone diaries, they muddle through each other’s lives in both frustrating and hilarious ways. What opens as a teen romance expands into a mystery touching upon Shinto rites and the supernatural. Your Name. captures the longing for lost places and people, underscored by Shinkai’s gorgeous hyper-realist style indelibly etching Tokyo’s cityscape and the beauty of rural Gifu prefecture—and the ubiquitous trains threading through them—into the viewer’s memory. Featuring music by the Japanese band RADWIMPS. View trailer. Recommended for ages 9+ Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / free for MoMI members.
