82 mins, Japan
Decades before co-founding Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki worked on this revolutionary film, blending an Eisenstein-esque depiction of collective struggle with ancient folklore. Virtually unseen outside of Japan, this cult classic’s bold cinematic techniques changed animation forever with novel approaches to both three-dimensional space and character drama.
“The movie that is to Japanese animation as that church picnic in Liverpool where John Lennon and Paul McCartney met was to rock and roll” - Tim Brayton, Alternate Ending
