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

Los Angeles Times
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
