Ponyo (2008)
(Gake no ue no Ponyo)
Country: JAP
Technical: col 100m
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Cast: animated
Synopsis:
An extraordinary fish escapes from a sort of Nemoesque underwater Ark, encounters a young boy living with his practically single mum on a cliff, and resolves to become a little girl. Which it does at the cost of endangering the eco-balance between earth and sea.
Review:
Miyazaki's inexorable aquatic coursers are a macabre touch that works particularly well in this environmental tale, and the eponymous creation has endearing qualities, but the mother's gravity defying drives around the coastal corniche leave reality somewhat too far behind for what ought to be the down-to-earth side of the story.
