Tickets: £5/4

Hayao Miyazaki’s latest – and allegedly last – film is based upon his own manga about plane engineer Jiro Hirokoshi, who designed several of the most important fighter planes used by Japan during World War II. The film chronicles Jiros' dreams of flying and designing beautiful aeroplanes. He is forced to abandon his dream of being a pilot and becomes an engineer, spurred on by vivid dreams and the love of a woman. Another captivating and beautifully crafted animation from the ever popular Studio Ghibli.

Unlike any Studio Ghibli movie. Unlike any animated movie. Strange and heartbreaking. ★★★★ Little White Lies
