New 35mm Print! CASTLE IN THE SKY (TENKU NO SHIRO RAPYUTA), 1986, Studio Ghibli, 124 min. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see one of Hayao Miyazaki's most stunningly beautiful, exciting and infrequently screened films.

Together they search for a floating island in the sky, site of a long-dead civilization promising enormous wealth and power to those who can unlock its secrets. CASTLE IN THE SKY is an early masterpiece of storytelling and filmmaking whose imaginative and ornately detailed vision presaged later films like PRINCESS MONONOKE and SPIRITED AWAY. In Japanese with English subtitles. [35mm] Recommended ages: 7 to adult.
