Résumés(1)
La jeune Sophie, âgée de 18 ans, travaille sans relâche dans la boutique de chapelier que tenait son père avant de mourir. Lors de l'une de ses rares sorties en ville, elle fait la connaissance de Hauru le Magicien. Celui-ci est extrêmement séduisant, mais n'a pas beaucoup de caractère... Se méprenant sur leur relation, une sorcière jette un épouvantable sort sur Sophie et la transforme en vieille femme de 90 ans. Accablée, Sophie s'enfuit et erre dans les terres désolées. Par hasard, elle pénètre dans le Château Ambulant de Hauru et, cachant sa véritable identité, s'y fait engager comme femme de ménage. Cette « vieille dame » aussi mystérieuse que dynamique va bientôt redonner une nouvelle vie à l'ancienne demeure. Plus énergique que jamais, Sophie accomplit des miracles. Quel fabuleux destin l'attend ? Et si son histoire avec Hauru n'en était qu'à son véritable commencement ? (La Pellicule Ensorcelée)

Un film d'animation superbe regorgeant d'idées et de poésie à la Miyazaki qui, bien qu'il n'atteigne pas la qualité du Voyage de Chihiro, s'approche au moins de Princesse Mononoké, ce qui est déjà beaucoup dire. Un peu de confusion vers la fin.

It's been barely a few days since I complained while reviewing The Cassandra Crossing that it wasn't an ideal movie to watch with an elevated temperature. Howl’s Moving Castle is the exact opposite. It's hard to find a more ideal movie to spend time with during an illness. Overall, Miyazaki's imagination is a good one for delirious states of mind. One immediately understands him better. This is the most mature project to come out of the Ghibli studio so far (even though it’s an adaptation of a children's book). It lifts your mood, delights, surprises you with the untrodden plot paths it takes and, above all, completely disarms you with its ideas and originality. A genuine work of art, and not only in terms of the animation. Personally, I wonder if it is even possible to go further in the field of classic, hand-drawn animation. I sincerely doubt it.

Very beautiful animation, we will all agree on that, but that story… At the beginning I was satisfied and surprised; I’ve never been a fan of Japanese anime, so I was caught off-guard with how much I was enjoying Howl's Moving Castle – a nice fairytale with magic, charm and likeable characters. But somewhere around the middle, things change completely and I didn’t understand anything; I have no idea what started to happen and why. The character that up to that point was supposed to be the main villain suddenly becomes the best friend. Really, what the fuck? I don’t quite get all that praise for Miyazaki’s films. Maybe it’s because my mentality is too anchored in the west, I don’t know. 60 %

The most romantic creation from the Master of fantasy. Throw away the quality standards because here we fly over mountains, doors open into four different spaces, all the main characters change their appearance, and magic is not far away. And the world of animated film is once again richer by one little treasure, much to my immeasurable joy.

What I appreciate about this film is its unpredictability. Miyazaki completely breaks the stereotype of fairy tales or fantasy stories – you have no chance to guess what will happen in the next few minutes, you are constantly surprised, the differences between bad and good characters are blurred (the one who is the embodiment of evil at the beginning can become a good friend) and all this happens without any stumbles in logic. Moreover, Miyazaki is like a small child, blessed with a vivid imagination, throwing one obscure idea after another in front of him. The film combines the classic fairy tale world with the industrial age of steam, the classic world of magic with crazy war mechanisms. The viewer's senses are so overwhelmed that the final impression sometimes teeters on the verge of being cluttered (which is my only complaint).
