He is one of the many masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki and the Ghibli studio: “Princess Mononoké” comes out in the cinema in Imax and 4K on August 27!
Released in Japan in 1997, and in 2000 in French theaters, Princess Mononoké, one of the masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki and the Ghibli studio, will come out in the cinema on August 27 in Imax and 4K. The film will first be screened exclusively for two weeks in all IMAX rooms, then from September 10 in the rooms equipped with 4K, “thus offering an unprecedented and immersive visual experience”, according to the press release.
The action of the film takes place in the heart of medieval Japan. A young warrior prince named Ashitaka is injured and cursed by fighting a demonic boar. Touched by a strange curse, he decides to go west to discover the origin of this evil.
He meets the Mononoke Princess, who lives on the fringes of the company alongside the goddess Louve Moro, then discovered a village of artillerymen and blacksmiths led by the daring lady Eboshi. Even if it means stirring of the anger of the spirits of the forest, the latter has sworn to make her people prosper by exploiting the surrounding resources.
Noted 4.4 stars by the spectators of Allociné, which makes it one of the best rated animated films, Princess Mononoké is undoubtedly one of Miyazaki's most emblematic works.
Addressing a more adult audience than his previous feature films My neighbor Totoro and Kiki the little witch, the film changed the perception of the public and criticism on animation, confirming Hayao Miyazaki as an undisputed master of the seventh art. Princess Mononoké addresses many themes such as the relationship between man and nature, power struggles or even moral ambiguity.
The release of feature film is the ideal opportunity to (re) discover this pioneering work in high definition, more than two decades after its release. Go to IMAX rooms from August 27.
