⭐ ABOUT

Aeon Flux is set in a bizarre, dystopian future world. The title character is a tall, leather-clad secret agent from the nation of Monica, skilled in assassination and acrobatics.

We're celebrating the month of May by showing a different classic (or recently classic) Anime film every Friday of the month!

This week's film is the one that put Hayao Miyazaki on the map- 1984's fantasy adventure Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind:

"After an apocalyptic conflict has devastated much of the world's ecosystem, the few surviving humans live in scattered semi-hospitable environments within what has become a "toxic jungle." Young Nausicaä lives in the arid Valley of the Wind and can communicate with the massive insects that populate the dangerous jungle. Under the guidance of the pensive veteran warrior, Lord Yupa, Nausicaä works to bring peace back to the ravaged planet."

*Rated PG for animated violence, frightening & intense scenes
