Description

“Princess Mononoke,” directed by Hayao Miyazaki, is a captivating animated film set in Japan during the late Muromachi period, a time marked by significant conflict between humans and nature.

The story follows Ashitaka, a young prince who becomes cursed after battling a boar demon infected with anger and disease. In his quest to lift the curse and restore balance, he embarks on a journey to the forest where he encounters San, a fierce young woman raised by wolves, who fights to protect the spirits of the forest, particularly the Great Forest Spirit. The film’s rich animation, coupled with a hauntingly beautiful score by Joe Hisaishi, creates an immersive experience that captures the raw beauty of nature and the tragic consequences of human actions.

About Studio Ghibli Film Festival

The Studio Ghibli Film Festival is coming to Perth on November 21 and over 18 days is showing 15 iconic titles from the legendary Japanese anime studio, Studio Ghibli.
