Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro

(Rupan sansei: Kariosutoro no shiro)

Original Japanese version

featuring

Yasuo Yamada, Sumi Shimamoto, Taro Ishida, Goro Naya,

After working on the Lupin III television series, Hayao Miyazaki returned to the popular adventure serial to direct his first feature film. The Castle of Cagliostro opens as Arsène Lupin III—a roguish, James Bond–like, international gentleman thief of mystery—and his trusty aide-de-camp and best friend, Daisuke Jigen, discover that the mountain of cash they just stole is counterfeit. The chain-smoking duo’s investigation leads them to the Monaco-like microstate of Cagliostro, where they must expose the counterfeiting plot and rescue a damsel in distress from the castle tower. Bravura setpieces and pastoral vistas “showcase Miyazaki’s obsessively detailed, gloriously colorful animation style” (Tasha Robinson, AV Club).
