HAYAO MIYAZAKI | JAPAN | 1992 | 94 MIN | PG | JAPANESE / ENGLISH
Hayao Miyazaki’s soaring action film about an Italian WWI pilot-now-bounty hunter taking on air pirates, a jealous American pilot, and an emerging government thirsty for power. Just like the titular hero, we’d rather be a pig than a fascist.
