The Wind Rises GFT Glasgow 9 -15 May

Director Hayao Miyazaki’s last film before retirement, and based on a manga of the same name, The Wind Rises is the fictionalised biography of Jiro Horikoshi, a designer of fighter aircraft used by the Empire of Japan in the Second World War. Taking its title from a Paul Valéry poem, the film eloquently moves from early 20th century Japan through to the earthquake of 1923 and on to the aftermath of the Second World War, chronicling the fragility of humanity and love through its hero. Gorgeously animated, Miyazaki trades one last time in fantastical and dreamy drama with beautiful period detail. GYFF14
