- Los Angeles Premiere! OCEAN WAVES (UMI GA KIKOERU), 1993, Studio Ghibli, 72 min. Dir. Tomomi Mochizuki. This subtle, poignant and wonderfully detailed story of adolescence and teenage isolation is rarely seen outside of Japan. Taku and his best friend Yutaka are headed back to school for what looks like another uneventful year. But they soon find their friendship tested by the arrival of Rikako, a beautiful transfer student from Tokyo whose attitude vacillates wildly from flirty and flippant to melancholic. When Taku joins Rikako on a trip to Tokyo, the school erupts with rumors, and the three friends are forced to come to terms with their changing relationships. In Japanese with English subtitles. Recommended ages: 8+ to adult.
