18 Feb Telluride Film Festival's Sunday at the Palm: "Castle in the Sky"
[click “Play”, Erika Gordon talks about Sunday at the Palm]
On February 20, 4 p.m., the Telluride Film Festival’s Sunday at the Palm presents Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpiece “Castle in the Sky” (1986, 124 min., rated PG).
The fantasy/adventure tale, “Castle in the Sky,” was inspired by “Gulliver’s Travels,” Jonathan Swift’s 18th-century satire on human nature. The film tells the story of an orphan named Sheeta, who inherits a mysterious crystal linking her to a legendary sky-kingdom. With the help of her friend and a band of sky pirates, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization on Laputa, where she meets a really bad actor with plans to rule the universe. The flying sequences and vision of a steam-powered future are the stuff of Jules Verne.
FREE to all.
