SAT, APRIL 29, 7PM: 

Jimmy T. Murakami’s WHEN THE WIND BLOWS (1986, 85min) is a hand-drawn animated tale about an elderly married couple Hilda and Jim Bloggs that have their quiet, simple lives in the English countryside interrupted when they learn of an impending nuclear attack. Not completely understanding the gravity of their situation, Hilda and Jim react archaically and insufficiently after the attack – and the film takes a dark turn as the radiation begins taking its toll on the unsuspecting couple. What begins as a comfy film about an old British couple in their twilight years becomes a scathing attack on apathy.
