Howl’s Moving Castle U Hauru no ugoku shiro Date: Sat 30 Apr 1.30pm £4.50 (£2.50) Director: Hayao Miyazaki Japan 2004 119mins (dubbed) Cast: Christian Bale, Lauren Bacall, Emily Mortimer This film from the visionary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke) is a visual delight. 18 year old milliner Sophie catches the heart of the wizard Howl which enrages the Wicked Witch of the Waste who, wanting Howl for herself, curses Sophie with age. Sophie leaves home in embarrassment and eventually comes across the titular castle, a stunning monstrosity, that walks on spindly legs and threatens to upstage the rest of the film with its fascinating features. In Howl’s castle Sophie must help the wizard defeat the witch and find a solution to a grand war between two ancient kingdoms, while trying to rediscover her youth.
