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

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Near the beginning, it's genuinely moving, but somewhere around the middle, the film's sheer excess and occasional silliness gets exhausting. Full Review

Eichii Yamamoto artfully implements the human drama of the story amidst the visual phantasmagoria, preventing the anime from becoming just a collage of images. Full Review

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

Rating: 3/4 -- It's a classic tale of temptation and tragedy, of innocence lost and evil triumphant. Full Review

A gorgeous film, largely composed of slow pans across still watercolors, and punctuated by vivid, swirling, and, frequently, distinctly anatomical bursts of animation. Full Review

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.
