Belleville Rendezvous (or The Belleville Triplets) is a comedic
French film written and directed by Sylvain Chomet. Who is also
known for The Illusionist and Paris, je taime. Chromet has a very
illustrative and distinctive 2d style. Batrice Bonifassi, Lina
Bourdreau and Charles Linton are a few of voices starring in the
film. The film follows the story of Madame Souza who with her
beloved canine companion Bruno who together follow the kidnappers
of her grandson who was kidnapped and taken to America while
participating in the Tour de France. Once reaching America Madame
Souza teams up with the Belleville Triplets in order to rescue her
grandson from the mafia. The film was highly comedic and its able
to express a lot emotion and show a lot of charm from the small
amount of dialogue in the film, the strong stereotyping is really
humorous and created a really enjoyable film. The music and sounds
were used really well the music was catchy and the animation style
was pleasing to the eye and highly stylized. I would definitely
recommend this film simply because it was fun to watch and looked
wonderful.
