Based on a short watercolor manga the director created for a model-building magazine, Porco Rosso was originally planned as an in-flight film for Japan Airlines. The tale of a (literally) pig-headed seaplane pilot who hunts air pirates over the late 1920s Adriatic Sea grew into a feature-length adventure, in which the titular World War I veteran teams up with a plucky teen engineer to take on a hotdogging American aviator against a backdrop of simmering fascism. It is a celebration of mechanics and the fruits of dedicated labor, which Hayao Miyazaki and his artisan animators exemplify as planes swim, sputter, and soar from sea to sky and back again.Screening in its Original Japanese version.
