Today's Recommendation: My Neighbors the Yamadas

This leisurely paced film from Isao Takahata is a slice-of-life episodic narrative from events in the Yamada family that comprises of mom, dad, grandma & 2 kids Noboru & Nonoko. It captures both the eccentricities of and emotional bonds between the family members in a unique style that's between watercolor & comics, with sparse background details.

A film sans melodrama, it makes for a solid weekday watch too 😊(it's split into small segments that can be watched stand-alone)
