Refreshing the Timeless
After its initial release in 1997, this return to theaters comes with an event campaign worthy of its success: two weeks of IMAX exclusivity in several cinemas across France, followed by a national release in 4K starting in September. The IMAX format promises an exceptional audio and visual immersion to enhance the work of Miyazaki and his team, while the restoration allows the film to regain the richness of its hand-painted backgrounds, the fluidity of its traditional animation, and the power of its action scenes.
A Stunning Ecological Epic
Set in the heart of medieval Japan, Princess Mononoke follows the journey of Ashitaka, a young warrior...
A cursed warrior, caught between mystical forces and a world undergoing industrial changes. He crosses paths with Lady Eboshi, the leader of a community of blacksmiths who draws from the forest to fuel her machines, and San, a fierce protector of nature raised by wolves. Through this struggle between nature and civilization, Miyazaki creates a rich, poetic, political work imbued with Shinto spirituality and a clear-eyed perspective on the destruction of ecosystems. Produced by the Studio Ghibli, Princess Mononoke stands as a cornerstone of global animated cinema, celebrated for its ambitious storytelling and the complexity of its characters. A masterpiece that deserves to be rediscovered on the big screen, just as it should be.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
