It’s been almost a year since the Japanese DVD for this Studio Ghibli masterpiece, “Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind”. I preordered it back then and it’s got a cherished place alongside every other Japanese release of Ghiblis’ work on my shelf. It’s so rich, original, stylish - and the animation is second to none. Really: if you consider yourself a film fan (as the saying goes...) you’ve simply got to see it.

No longer do i have to endure the cut VHS version, retitled “Warriors of The Wind”, which is long out of production. Instead, this 1984 masterpiece is remastered in its extended, complete version, in such glorious quality that it is difficult for me to remember a better disc ever being put out.

You should get the delayed USA disc next year, but this issue was my favourite of last year… do yourself a favour if you haven’t seen this, or anything of Miyazaki’s beyond the Oscar winning “Spirited Away”, and get this disc - now!

There’s a late, but great review from one such person here.
