Disgusting! Of all the thumbnails that ANN could have use they have to THAT thumbnail. ANN I demand you remove it. What where the developers of Belladonna of Sadness thinking are they trying to make movie audience disgust and sick of these scenes? Mad


Take it easy, that's just frosting on her face, perv. Laughing


Frosting? Those are clearly coming from her eyes. Those are tears!

Not sure if sarcastic or just dumb.

I'm very surprised that Mononoke did not make the list. That one has incredible style.

Edit: I also did not (read? who does that!?) the top paragraph...my bad. Sad

Loved Belladonna of Sadness when I watched it on TCM. It was such a trippy movie and the limited animation worked, but I almost wish they had a bigger budget for a broader scope. Amusingly enough I had both this and Fantastic Planet on my DVR and forced my wife to watch both back to back! Haha...

Hard to argue with anything on this list (or the previous one); these are all great choices. A couple more I'd offer from recent(ish) years: Kyōsōgiga and Flip Flappers. Both have some issues with story and with their characters (much like LotL, really), but are carried by astonishing degrees of visual inventiveness. I'm thrilled to see that Kiyotaka Oshiyama of Flip Flappers is going to be involved with the new FLCL, and still a little boggled that after helming Kyōsōgiga and Blood Blockade Battlefront, Rie Matsumoto hasn't been tapped for any new projects (that we know of).

You can see Belladonna of Sadness on the Fandor movie service. It is gorgeous and emotionally draining. This is what good myth-making does.
