Miyazaki (July)


Hayao Miyazaki piloted a film set in interwar Melbourne and to that end sourced any available images from the period. The T&G Building is white as ice-cream. Every facet of Manchester Unity picks up a glint of sunlight. Impeccably drawn hooded cars carry mystery passengers. All that survives are a few dozen short scenes and hundreds of sketches. (NGV St. Kilda Road. Starts July 28) Storyline: ten year-old savant Sue-Sue sees magical happenings. Submarines in the bay come and go undetected. Mushrooms burst into flame and cloud. Gallery-goers may listen to the proposed soundtrack, Glockenspiel Mozart, through earplugs in situ.
