Studio Ghibli's 1991 Masterpiece 'Only Yesterday' Is Finally Set to Hit North America
Starring the voices of Daisy Ridley and Dev Patel.
From the talent that brought you Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle comes the archived masterpiece Only Yesterday. Originally released in Japan in 1991 under the title Omoide Poro Poro or translated as Memories Trickle Down, the story follows that of 27-year-old Taeko as her travels to the countryside are interlaced with memories of booming metropolitan Tokyo. Daisy Ridley (Rey of Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Dev Patel (Chappie and Slumdog Millionaire) voice the main characters in the Isao Takahata-directed animation with Hayao Miyazaki as general producer. Only Yesterday hits the IFC Center theater on January 1 and select theaters nationwide on February 26.
