LES TRIPLETTES DE BELLEVILLE [2003]

Sylvain Chomet brings us into a bizarre animated world of characters exaggerated to surreal perfection in Les Triplettes de Belleville.
With it's richly detailed animation, minimal dialogue, wildly surreal sense of humor and magnificent music it becomes all too apparent that films like this don't come around often enough.  Chomet crafts a dark story line, glossed over with colorful imagery and upbeat slapstick, while tipping his hat to the classic films of Jacques Tati, all of which makes for one of the most delightfully entertaining films I've ever seen.
