The Triplets of Belleville is showing at NFSA on Friday 5 December. Image: The Triplets of Belleville.
PG | 81 Mins | 2003 | DCP | FRA | D: Sylvain Chomet. French with English subtitles.
When a boy is kidnapped while training for the Tour de France, his grandmother embarks on a daring mission to enlist the help of the famous, now aged, music-hall singers known as The Triplets of Belleville.
A darkly comic tale, set in an animated amalgam of New York and Paris, that revels in its strange surrealism.
‘To call it weird would be a cowardly evasion. It is creepy, eccentric, eerie, flaky, freaky, funky, grotesque, inscrutable, kinky, kooky, magical, oddball, spooky, uncanny, uncouth and unearthly. Especially uncouth.’ – Roger Ebert
