Awesome! :punk:

That would've come in handy yesterday when I asked in the Directors Thread why did the new Coen brothers movie have to be Zany.

I watched the Powerpuff Movie for the first time not too long ago and enjoyed it. Apparently, it received some controversy when it came out for being too violent, yeah, it has violence, but it was cartoon violence. Still, think of the children. :P

What was I saying? Um, yeah, the Powerpuff girls cartoons were fun. :good:
 
NSFW Belladonna of Sadness Trailer, Companion Book, and Release Details
http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/152571/nsfw-belladonna-of-sadness-trailer-and-release-details/

Cinelicious Pics, SpectreVision, and The Cinefamily have unveiled a tantalizing new trailer for Eiichi Yamamoto’s controversial 1973 film Belladonna of Sadness — one of the great “lost” masterpieces of Japanese animation, newly restored in 4k for its U.S. release.

The explicit NSFW trailer (good thing it’s the weekend and most of us are off work!) offers a glimpse into the mad and sensual tale of Jeanne, an innocent young woman who makes a pact with the devil (voiced by Tatsuya Nakadai from Akira Kurosawa’s Ran). Filled with explicit Egon Schiele-inspired eroticism, the film is a swirling, psychedelic light show of medieval tarot card imagery replete with horned demons, haunted forests, and La Belle Dame Sans Merci.

Extremely transgressive and not for the easily offended, Belladonna is fueled by a mind-blowing Japanese psych rock soundtrack by noted avant-garde jazz composer Masahiko Satoh.

The film opens May 6th at the brand new Metrograph theater in New York and the Alamo Drafthouse New Mission in San Francisco and at The Cinefamily in Los Angeles the week of May 13th, with a national roll-out to follow.

Synopsis:
BELLADONNA OF SADNESS is the last in the adult-themed Animerama Trilogy produced by the godfather of Japanese anime & manga, Osamu Tezuka, and directed by his longtime collaborator Eiichi Yamamoto (ASTRO BOY, KIMBA THE WHITE LION). All but lost since the its 1970s release, the film was restored by Cinelicious Pics using the original 35mm camera negative and sound elements – including over 8 minutes of surreal and explicit footage cut from the negative.

Praising the film for its wild, pioneering visual style, Vice’s J.W. McCormack writes: “[Anime’s] first masterpiece was Belladonna of Sadness (Kanashimi no Beradonna), a film that has a visual style so sui generis that I can only compare it to Sesame Street if Sesame Street were, as my paternal grandmother believed, a recruiting film for LSD-addled freakazoids and the Church of Satan.”

Review: Studio Ghibli’s ‘Only Yesterday’ Directed By Isao Takahata

With “Only Yesterday,” Takahata not only succeeds in transmitting how years can flash by, also the way that passage of time makes clearer the moments that define our character, and go on to influence how we choose live later. It’s not a new notion, but it’s one chronicled refreshingly through the eyes of a young woman, in a film that itself plays like View — Master reel of memories, ones that linger long after the movie is over.

This is a really good one. I'm curious about the English dub, because this one requires far more care than most to maintain the integrity of the movie. However, when thinking about the dub I can't get past Daisy Ridley without being happy. Haha, always got Star Wars on my mind.

I had a pretty similar feeling. Normally, not interested in the dub, but... she's doing it? Going to have to see it both ways, I guess.
