This is a really original piece of filmmaking. It is a challenging but thought-provoking watch.

A landmark in animation and a bold statement on sexual autonomy and liberation.

It's a classic tale of temptation and tragedy, of innocence lost and evil triumphant.

Belladonna is a Freudian fever dream, replete with psychedelic imagery, pornography and a score resembling Miles Davis's Bitches Brew.

The artwork is achingly delicate, but there's nothing subtle about Belladonna of Sadness.

Rating: B+ --
Perhaps too ambitious for its own good (or at least its budget), the film is impossible to dismiss, even if it exhausts its reserve of ideas.

The paintings simply aren't strong enough to hold the audience's attention and carry the story.

Product Description:
This well-crafted Japanese animated feature adapts the novel BELLADONNA by Jules Michelet in a unique manner. The story concerns a love affair, taking place in the Middle Ages, shadowed by witch-trials and the Inquisition. The actual moments of the story are shown in more-or-less still tableaux, but the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters are fully animated.
