International Feature: Porco Rosso

  • Résumé

  • What happens when you mix the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli with the gritty backdrop of post-World War I Europe? Thanks to one of our Patrons, we explore the often-overlooked, "Porco Rosso," in our latest edition of International Feature. Many consider this film a hidden gem that offers a fresh perspective within the beloved Ghibli collection, standing out against more recognized titles like "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle."

    From the breathtaking animation that Studio Ghibli is renowned for to the poignant themes of historical significance, "Porco Rosso" captivates us with its unique narrative style. We unravel the layers of this film, acknowledging both its visual brilliance and its narrative quirks, like unresolved plot points and the peculiar romantic undertones. While some of these elements might prompt mixed feelings, we appreciate the distinctive charm that this film offers, particularly for the biggest fans of the Ghibli universe. Looking ahead, we ponder the future Ghibli adventures on the podcast with titles like "Princess Mononoke" and "Grave of the Fireflies" on our radar.

    Letterbox'd Synopsis: In Italy in the 1930s, sky pirates in biplanes terrorize wealthy cruise ships as they sail the Adriatic Sea. The only pilot brave enough to stop the scourge is the mysterious Porco Rosso, a former World War I flying ace who was somehow turned into a pig during the war. As he prepares to battle the pirate crew’s American ace, Porco Rosso enlists the help of spunky girl mechanic Fio Piccolo and his longtime friend Madame Gina.
