The final swansong of famed Director Hayao Miyazaki, this beautiful animation from Studio Ghibli captures decades of wonderful animation in one of the most touching stories created. Also known as "The Wind Rises" in the West, this universally acclaimed and award winning film is about the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed Japanese fighter planes during World War II and all the drama that life naturally makes. 

In this Bluray, special features include an innovative picture within picture feature where shots from the storyboard are presented side by side with the film; there are also press conferences, trailers, music videos and more! Perhaps the final film of Miyazaki, unless he decides to out his retirement on haitus, Kaze Tachinu is a film that is indeed a must watch.
