To walk into the atrium of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Bell Lightbox Theatre right now is to be hit with a wave of wild and often fantastical imagery. A whale emerges from the sea, its innards visible, x-ray style. A goblin walks down a city street. The neon-lit skyline of Tokyo at night takes over a wall.TIFF’s new slate of programming, Pop Japan, is a broad look at the last century of Japanese cinema, split up into three series: a look at the work of Japanese New Wave auteur Seijun Suzuki, a retrospective of anime classics, and an examination of animator Hayao Miyazaki, founder of Studio Ghibli.
