Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, The Wind Rises (2013) is a biopic about Japanese aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, who designed the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter plane used in World War II. This was originally going to be Miyazaki's final film, but he reversed that decision to make 2023's The Boy and the Heron. Join our hosts and guest Richard Dunham as we grapple with this strange film, from its incredible depiction of an earthquake in Tokyo to its bizarre fictionalized romance.
