50bookchallenge this month.
Cinema Trips
Belleville Rendez-Vous
Just the one film this month due to weekend overtime and not being in the mood for the cinema. Odd really since I was looking forward to The Matrix 3, LOTR 3 and Master & Commander, but haven't got round to seeing any of them.
But anyway, back to the film I did see. Belleville Rendez-Vous is a French animated film with so little dialogue that it didn't need subtitles. A quiet little boy lives with his grandmother, who gives him a puppy and a bike. When he grows up he is a racing cyclist with his grandmother as his trainer, and when he gets kidnapped during a race, she is soon on the trail of the criminals. Very endearing story with an interesting animation style.
