This article seemed more like an overview of the artist and his work, but what about the movie? Is there any information on it?

I just don't get articles like this. Whatever content there is - interview, biography and essay about his work - is blown into a thousand pieces and smeared across 10 pages. How is this enjoyable to anyone?

I'd assume the author is paid by the word count and the site gets to insert more adds, so win-win on their side ?

Like most modern journalism, it is just regurgitated PR.

I remember going to The Wind Rises and they said the same thing about it being his last movie. I wish we could skip the PR and just be honest.

it's based on a novel, "How Do You Live?" by Genzaburo Yoshino. this link is provided in the article, a translation was apparently published in anticipation.
