Sylvain Chomet’s Les Triplettes de Belleville is easily one of the great accomplishments of movie animation, and something that one can watch on repeat, discovering new features with every viewing. Now, I’d shared it’s pop song breakthrough hit a week ago, but here I want to talk about the movie, as a whole:
Welp… I found it an absolutely absurd, hilarious masterpiece for the ages. The caricatures are wicked-scorchingly-funny, and just utterly fascinating to look at and follow. The story has a ‘warped, Euro’ logic that I greatly appreciate, and despite this nominally being a French film, pretty-much everything is easily-understandable due to the Charlie Chaplin-esque pantomime and negligable vocalisations.

And now… catch it while you can, because it’s hard to believe the entire movie will be free to watch on YT for much longer. Word to the wise:
I really hope they had somebody in a black suit and sunglasses directly next to them. That would have been awesome =D
