The movie is emotional, rich and methodical with some claiming that it's one of Miyazaki's best films to date. So how do the art book\u00a0The Art of The Wind Rises<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>stack up to the film?<\/p>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nAt first glance, you know that there is something notably different about The Art of The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>compared to the other art books out there. It has no dust jacket, it's layout is portrait and is densely filled with 224 pages of art. It makes sense that a book about a Japanese animation studio looks almost out of place in one's art book collection. That's because\u00a0The Art of The Wind Rises\u00a0<\/em>is different, for better and for worse.\r\n\r\nThe book isn't divided into main chapters or sections, but rather just follows the chronological narrative of the film. Literally, we go scene by scene and nothing is left out. If there are new characters introduced in a scene, then that's when the author finds it appropriate to introduce that character in the book with the filmmakers' quotes about the character and model sheets.\r\n\r\n
