The Wind Rises (風立ちぬ) (2013)


This animation from Japan's Miyazaki Hayao, the last before his retirement in 2013, is undeniably beautiful - many scenes elicit an auto sensory meridian response with the animation capturing the quiet and tactility of grass rustling or slippered feet padding around or wind blowing - but there is also something mechanical about it and not just because it's a story of historical figure Jiro Horikoshi, an engineer who eventually designs the planes used by Japan in World War II.

★★★☆☆
