FILM (from the BFI)
Unseen for many years until its recent restoration, Belladonna of Sadness is an explicit revenge drama based on Jules Michelet’s book La sorcière. In this harrowing story a feudal lord in the middle-ages commits a terrible crime against a couple of newlyweds. Although the film is troubling, it remains a true anime classic, combining vivid watercolours with artistic influences such as Gustav Klimt.
