Re: What work qualifies as the most *aesthetic* film?

Disney probably only released the DVD of this movie in the USA to fullfil a contractual obligation with Studio Ghibli, as they released it mid-summer without much promotion at all.

"The Yamadas" is a series of animated vignettes depicting the ordinary lives of a Japanese familiy, taken, I think, from the pages of a daily newspaper comic strip. The style is deceptively simple: Black lines on white background with washes of color. But I always come away amazed at how rich it feels, and this appreciation grows upon repeated viewings IMO.
