THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO (1979) - May 14, 2004
An atypical early film by Miyazaki. It's atypical in that it doesn't contain any fantasy elements, and is set in the present day. About a charming thief, Lupin, who decides to save a young woman from the clutches of an evil count. Very entertaining throughout; it contains a lot of action but is never overwhelmed by it. A fun adventure. It leaves itself wide open for a sequel, and I certainly wouldn't mind watching the continued adventures of Lupin. I should look into that. ***
