- 2015 October 5, Alberto Cassani, “‘Nausicaä della Valle del Vento’ di Hayao Miyazaki”, in CineFile.biz[1]:
- Visto oggi è un film interessante perché anticipa tanti dei temi e delle situazioni che Miyazaki svilupperà nei lavori successivi, ma è chiaramente un prodotto ancora immaturo: […] Nausicaä denota come l’autore edochiano avesse bene in mente i discorsi che gli interessava fare ma non avesse ancora la capacità di farli in maniera cinematograficamente efficace.
- If seen today, it is an interesting movie, since it anticipates many of the themes and situations which Miyazaki would develop in later works; but clearly it is still an unripe product: […] Nausicaä [of the Valley of the Wind] denotes how firm in his mind the Tokyoite author had the messages he was interested in conveying, but that he did not yet have the ability of conveying them in a cinematographically effective way.
