Porco Rosso - SILVER SCREEN SOCIETY

Animation, Adventure, Anime | 2024 | PG. 1hr 45min
CAST: Cary Elwes, Michael Keaton DIRECTOR: Hayao Miyazaki SILVER SCREEN SOCIETY | 6/30-7/6

In 1930's Italy, air pirates, bounty hunters and high flyers of all sorts rule the skies. The most cunning and skilled of these pilots is Porco Rosso, a man cursed with the head of a pig. He now makes a living taking jobs, such as rescuing those kidnapped by air pirates. Donald Curtis, Porco's rival in the air and in catching the affections of women, provides a constant challenge to the hero, culminating in a hilarious,

action packed finale.

A rollicking adventure, set to a Mediterranean backdrop and replete with beautifully orchestrated dogfights - Hayao Miyazaki offers up perhaps his most blockbuster-esque feature in PORCO ROSSO... But even still, manages to retain

all the heart and magic of classic Ghibli.

Reviews

Mr. Miyazaki smooshes fantasy and history into a pastel-pretty yarn as irresistible as his feminism.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

The animation throughout is either adorable or breathtaking.
