(I never thought that there would come a day when I would recommend pornographic films.)
Before watching this anime, I didn’t quite understand “why everyone is recommending a Japanese pornographic anime as a must-see movie.” Plus, the cover didn’t look like a pornographic movie (?). After watching it… well… it’s a little hard to put into words… it’s certainly not just pornographic, but you can’t say it’s not pornographic either… (it’s not the kind of pornographic that’s in the art sense either)
It makes me feel complicated when I want to recommend it to my friends and family...
Witch Hunt and Jeanne la Pucelle
"Bella Donna" (Japanese: 哀しみのベラドンナ) is a 1978 Japanese erotic animated film. The story is based on the French historical work La Sorcière, which tells the story of Belladonna being gang-raped on her wedding night and abandoned by her husband. An evil voice controls her to use "sex" to gain power. Belladonna has been repeating the cycle of being admired and despised by everyone. The whole story tells Belladonna's tragic life and criticizes many social issues and historical tragedies.
The watercolor style of the animation is a rare and precious work in the history of art. The pictures are very stunning and beautiful, the style is unique, and the hallucinatory scenes are still very avant-garde. If you like watercolor and hand-painted animation, you really can't miss this animated film.
