UPDATE: the DVD of Belleville Rendez-vous is available from amazon.co.uk on pre-order, released on the 26th January.
This delightful and bizarre animated french film is one of the best I have seen this year. Belleville Rendezvous, originally released as Les Triplettes de Belleville in France is an exploration of the realtionship between a child and his grandmother. It is also a looney adventure with fantasty scenes of huge cities, shoes that eat people and dogs that dream.
The soundtrack is great fun too. Lastly the website has a storyboard, games to play and musical postcard to send. It is a good movie tie-in site, really giving the feeling of the film, without completely giving away the plot.
