    Finally watched this and tbh I didn’t like it? There were soo many plot holes and stuff that didn’t age well like Belle being a damsel in distress, plus it being a cartoon made me feel like I was watching a dumb kid’s movie. I think it could really benefit from a non cartoon remake to fix this stuff

    Completely by coincidence I finished writing my long delayed script on his previous film, Belle, last week, so the timing was almost accidentally really good for cross-promotion, but, uh, that would require Scarlet to be getting promotion 😅

    I'm not even opposed to throwing your life away for love (as a movie plot) But he doesn't even KNOW Belle. He doesn't LOVE her. He doesn't even LIKE her. He wants Belle because she's the prettiest girl in town. That's it. And he loses his mind because he's never heard the word no before.

    Belle and Sebastian It's rude when people ask you for a favorite Wes Anderson movie because you have a ranking that you update every time you're waiting for the bus. You've thought about playing hooky, and instead just slip into a bookshop on your lunch break.

    Thread of anime you can watch with your family, nonironically. BELLE is a gorgeously animated film inspired by Beauty and the Beast, about the internet, music, and though it touches on child abuse it's reasonably non-traumatizing.

    I've already seen SUSPIRIA (1977) and EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960) mentioned, and the one that came to my mind first is not technically classified as horror, but much of LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE (1946) by Cocteau is genuinely frightening. One of the most gorgeous black and white films ever produced.

    My take is watch Hosoda's Belle instead. It's also an animated film, partly in 3D, with lots of songs; it engages with a difficult subject (child abuse) without watering it down to a dumb metaphor. It just deals with actual child abuse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l-n...

    My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of BELLE DE JOUR boxd.it/gzsktV As poster child for bourgeois boredom, Deneuve's icy appeal has never been more alluring. Bunuel challenges complacency with collage of kink, blending fantasy/reality into intoxicating dreamlike world. Gorgeous. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 593
