- The Wind Rises
- The
Wind Rises is written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, whose Spirited
Away won an Oscar. The Japanese animator has announced this will be his final feature film.
A fictionalised biography of Jiro Horikoshi, who designed the Zero
fighter plane used by Japan in World War II, the animated historical
fantasy attracted controversy
in Japan, with some viewers labelling it the work of a “traitor”. The
first Miyazaki film to be centred on an historical figure and real
events, it is short on the whimsy for which he’s known. Released 20
February in Russia, 21 February in the US and 6 March in New Zealand.
