When the Wind Blows (1986)

Sit back, relax, and brew a pot of tea for When the Wind Blows, a 1986 animated film directed by Jimmy Murakami based on the graphic novel by Raymond Briggs.

In this episode of the Nuclear Movie Club, NukeTalk producer Rebecka Green and Ploughshares Roger L. Hale Fellow Scott Strgacich discuss When the Wind Blow‘s domestic eeriness, the big punch a small-scale story can make, how the film’s animation is key to its impact, and why you should probably keep your home’s doors where they are…for now.
