Kaze no tani no Naushika / Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - 1984, 116′
An enjoyable ecological fable for older children and teens.
The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world 1000 years after the collapse of industrial civilization. The remnants of humanity have organized themselves into petty kingdoms, most militarily aggressive and all threatened by the encroaching “Sea of Decay,” a toxic rainforest populated by poisonous insects of unusual size. Heroine Nausicaa is the teenaged princess of the kingdom of the “Valley of the Wind,” an idyllic pastoral community nestled between an acid sea and a barren sand desert, the latter a buffer between the valley and the Sea of Decay.
