Review of The Wind Rises (2013) by Andrew O'hehir for Salon — 27 Feb 2014
A work of immense mystery and strangeness, loaded with unforgettable images, spectacular sweeps of color and nested, hidden meanings. It feels to me like a meditative epic about Japan’s traumatic journey into modernity, and a complicated allegory about the innocence, arrogance and culpability of artists.
It’s one of the most beautiful animated films ever made, and something close to a masterpiece.
