Restored re-release

A psychedelic stew of erotica and body horror, Belladonna of Sadness arrives in the US more than three decades after it helped bankrupt Japanese production house Mushi Productions. It isn’t difficult to see why; even accounting for the differences in cultural and historical tastes. Belladonna is a cacophony of images and sound, a blend of different animation styles coalescing into a guttural scream of warped feminism and parable creation: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/belladona-of-sadness/
