Belleville Rendez-Vous - Collector's Edition (aka Triplets Of Bellville) (Animated)
Belleville Rendez-Vous - Collector's Edition (aka Triplets Of Bellville) (Animated)
Director: Sylvain Chomet
Summary: An animated comedy set in France during the 1960s, this is the story about a boy called Champion. His grandmother, Madame Souza, encourages Champion to take part in the Tour de France. Unfortunately Champion is kidnapped by gangsters and so Madame Souza and a jazz trio called the Triplets Of Belleville set out to rescue him...
In this animated French film, a boy named Champion trains relentlessly for the Tour de France, with the help of his loyal grandmother and overweight dog, Bruno (who loves to bark at passing trains). When the big race comes, Champion and a few of his fellow racers are kidnapped by some thugs who spirit them off to Belleville (a surreal impression of 1930s-1950s Manhattan) where they are forced to pedal as part of a clandestine gambling operation. Bruno and grandma set out across the sea in a paddle boat to rescue their boy, but once ashore they soon become lost, hungry and penniless, that is until the frog-eating Triplets of Belleville, former scat singing jazz prodigies turned experimental musicians, come to their rescue.
Filled with inspired, twisted imagery, this nearly dialogue-free film is a crowd-pleaser of unusual power, with the strange, measured pacing of a dream, and a great soundtrack of bizarre alternate-reality '30s jazz. It also offers a touching and believable evocation of a dog's life. A great throwback to the time before animation became dominated by CGI effects, BELLEVILLE RENDEZ-VOUS is a very strange, very loving French salute to obsession, affection, and persistence.
