Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Emishi people, is cursed by a demonized boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure. Along the way, he encounters San, a young human woman fighting to protect the forest, and Lady Eboshi, who is trying to destroy it. Ashitaka must find a way to bring balance to this conflict.
A romantic fantasy so overwhelming it leaves you shivering in awe of cinemas possibilities.
Unfortunately this film didnt come together to make a satisfying romcom.
The splendid effectiveness of Princess Mononoke lies fully in the precise work of adaptation that the Weitz brothers make of the original text.
