Anime Ltd Belladonna of Sadness - 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition
Description
Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureOne of the great lost masterpieces of Japanese animation. Belladonna Of Sadness is a mad, swirling, psychedelic lightshow of medieval tarot-card imagery with horned demons, haunted forests and La Belle Dame Sans Merci with J.R.R. Tolkien influences.The last film in the Animerama trilogy produced by the godfather of Japanese anime & manga, Osamu Tezuka and directed by his longtime collaborator Eiichi Yamamoto (Astro Boy and Kimba The White Lion), Belladonna unfolds as a series of spectacular still watercolor paintings that bleed and twist together. A young woman, Jeanne (voiced by Aiko Nagayama) is assaulted by the local lord on her wedding night.To take revenge, she makes a pact with the Devil himself (voiced by Tatsuya Nakadai, from Akira Kurosawa's RAN) who appears as a sprite and transforms her into a black-robed vision of madness and desire.Extremely transgressive, Belladonna is fueled by a mind-blowing Japanese psych rock soundtrack by noted avant-garde jazz composer Masahiko Satoh. The film has been newly restored by Cinelicious Pics using the original 35 mm camera negative and sound elements and including over 8 minutes of surreal footage cut from the negative.4K Ultra High-Definition Blu-ray in Japanese with English subtitles.Bonus:New Video Interviews with Director Eiichi Yamamoto, Art Director Kuni Fukai, and Composer Masahiko SatohRed Band Trailer, Green Band Trailer, Original Trailer
