Nausicaä of the
Valley of the Wind

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), directed by Hayao Miyazaki, begins its run at Cinéma Moderne on 20 November. On an Earth ravaged by humanity's "seven days of fire", a small agricultural people survives in a wind-protected valley, threatened by an expanding toxic forest where giant mutant insects live. Their beloved king is assassinated and Princess Nausicaä is taken prisoner; sensitive to nature and the ecosystem, she is the only one able to communicate with the mutants. Tickets are available through the cinema.
