Hayao Miyazaki’s breakthrough, on whose success Studio Ghibli was founded, remains the director’s touchstone, an eco-fantasy packed with visual imagination and surreal wonder.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a village is beset by human invaders and killer insects, it’s an exhilarating adventure that’s also a moving study of cruelty forged from desperation and ignorance.
Better still, Miyazaki’s animation looks ravishing in high definition.
