Your Name. - Japanese Film Festival of Arizona

One morning, rural schoolgirl Mitsuha and city kid Taki awaken to discover that they’ve switched bodies. The total strangers struggle to navigate each other’s lives, walking tightropes of intimacy and distance. But when they finally resolve to meet, the true nature of their connection threatens to seal their fate.

Instantly iconic, Your Name. was a worldwide smash hit and heralded writer/director Makoto Shinkai as a new great master of animation. Its sumptuous attention to detail in yearning vistas and pulsing city streets, driven by an unforgettable score from RADWIMPS, elevates its central romance to world-rending levels of destiny and longing.
