Princess Mononoke

Princess Mononoke made the world aware for the first time of Hayao Miyazaki’s work, and was also his most successful film in his homeland, Japan. It tells the story of a prince struck by a curse after killing a boar god. He embarks on a journey in the hope of finding the spirits of the gods of the forest to understand the reasons for his curse. It’s the most representative of Hayao Miyazaki's films as it is based on the theme of ecology. Man must stop destroying nature and do everything in his power to live in harmony with the natural environment. We also discover the central place of women in Miyazaki’s vision; women are the one’s with wisdom.
