movie review - The Triplets of Belleville
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Halifax, 2004.03.07
This is an amusing/ghoulish and surreal French animated flick about a grandmother who sets off to rescue her cyclist grandson when he is kidnapped by the wine mafia. There isn't a lot of dialogue, but there are plenty of scenes of seniors snapping off musical comedy as they dodge bullets. And frogs, there are plenty of frogs. Most of which wind up as food by way of granade-propulsion.
I recommend it, but be prepared. It's French. In a France-Belgium-Canada-Quebec collaboration way.
Recommended.
