ルパン三世 THE FIRST

a film by Takashi Yamazaki

Timur borrowed this film from the library. So we watched it (in Japanese with Spanish subtitles; the other choices were Spanish or Catalan dub). It turned out to be much more fun than I expected. “The First” of the title refers to the first 3DCG installment in the Lupin the Third franchise.

More than inspired by the classic Castle of Cagliostro, this film also includes references to Indiana Jones as well as other Miyazaki’s tropes; Lupin impersonating the Führer looks very much like John Cleese’s Mr. Hilter.
