Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

£0.00

(Hotaru no haka)


Country: JAP/US
Technical: col 88m
Director: Isao Takahata
Cast: Animation

Synopsis:

When they are orphaned by the bombardment of Tokyo, a boy and his infant sister take refuge with their aunt, but soon leave her incessant complaining for a tramp-like existence next to a pond.

Review:

Harrowing fare for an animated film, this tender hearted film treats such material as fire bombings, infant mortality and skin psoriasis unflinchingly, but is too slow and monotonous to get up a dramatic head of steam.
