Film: Belleville Rendez-Vous

"A new dimension in boredom," declares MarcoB on IMDb. I can see where he's coming from. If you're looking for a dizzily paced cartoon packed with sight gags, stick to Pixar's output; a film with less than ten lines of dialogue is never likely to lift you from your slumber.

On the other hand, if you stick with it, you may find Belleville Rendez-Vous is a real treat: a dark, toe-tapping film animation made for adults.

Try not to go into this one with too much hype in your head. Relax, tap along in time with the music and I dare you not to be captivated by Bruno's doggy dreams.
