Before “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Princess Mononoke” there was “Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind,” based on the popular Japanese comic of the same name. Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Earth, “Nausicaa” tells the tale of one young girl’s struggle for survival against a hostile environment populated with giant insects and a miasma which threatens humanity itself.
Her people live in peace in the Valley of the Wind, drawing intimately from nature to sustain themselves in a fragile world slowly healing from a devastating apocalypse fought by humans long ago.
Filled with Miyazaki’s trademark fluid animation, this movie captures the imagination with memorable characters and an engaging plot.
