I've read that animation is the ultimate realization of imagination, and I have to agree. However, just because you imagine something to look like THIS does not make it interesting.
For 10 years ago this animated movie had been released.This is a movie about a woman, her son and a dog.
I am pretty sure that the dog is actually the protagonist of this story. It doesn't really matter as the film doesn't have much in the way of a plot or for that matter characters with human depth and being.
This quirky piece draw's viewers in with its unusual animation and abundance of silence. The detail and skill it would have taken to make this is astonishing!
This film is a little twisted and dark in its style and subject matter. There is very little dialogue and the story is told visually so this is hard to avoid.
The first time I saw this movie, I was in high school and it was the first foreign film I had ever seen. As there was hardly any dialogue, I was able to focus on the story-line, as well as on the details of the animation.
I watched this movie in French class last year. Not a single person in my class liked it.
When I first saw The Triplets of Belleville, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I was certainly impressed with the use of 2D and 3D animation, and the overall weirdness kept me interested.
I love the film-making sensibility of the writer/director of this film. In most films that come out of Hollywood, you don't give a damn about any of the characters.
