The kingdom of Takicardie quakes under the rule of the tyrannical King Charles V-et- III-font-VIII- et-VIII- font-XIV, whose favourite pastime is shooting birds. His archenemy is a cheeky mockingbird, whose favourite pastime is thwarting the king’s attempts to shoot birds. One night, a portrait of the king comes to life and disposes of the real king, taking his place. The portrait king falls in love with a young shepherdess in another painting and intends to marry her. But, alas, the shepherdess has fallen in love with a chimneysweep and together they elope from the king’s palace. Enraged, the king sends his police to capture them and once they are within his power he forces the shepherdess to marry him. The mockingbird must use all his guile and courage to once more thwart the king and bring his evil reign to an end.

Background : The Films of Isao Takahata
Isao Takahata remains Japan – and indeed, one of the world’s greatest living filmmakers. One half of the famed Studio Ghibli he co-founded with his renowned partner, Hayao Miyazaki, Takahata has preserved – unlike the much more prolific Hayao – a rather measured, even leisurely pace at which he finishes films. As a result, while his filmography is not elaborate or extensive, it is permeated by titles of rare feeling: a preference for depth, over breadth. The month-long retrospective presented by Lightcube Film Society at Perch will cover Takahata’s major achievements, a couple of his lesser known films and finally, the film that influenced him to become an animator.
