still another japanese import by way of disney. this movie is beautiful. there is a back-story, and a plot. a rare thing these days. this is on the same level as spirited away.
a detailed post-steampunk, dirigible-tech universe. no computers here. an obsession with flight, architecture, and the bones of both. bare airplane wings, robot bones, a city as an empty tomb, abandoned mines as living earth. all are stripped to show the underlying skeleton and form. parallels to da vinci and china mieville’s perdido street station.
