Belleville Rendez-Vous

[Lardyboy]

Did anyone else see this tonight on BBC4?

Was absolutely brilliant!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Seen it before, Ms RT has got it on DVD> It's got bicycles and a Citroen H Van, two things of which I'm inordinately fond.
I love the dog in it, especially when he's trying to bark at the train and the frog at the same time.

 

[longers]

A great film .

 

[Lardyboy]

I liked the "car chase" with the "stretched" 2CV's, the now obvious use for a German WW2 grenade as a fishing device, and the "patron" still waiting for the return of the pedallo at the end.

 

[longers]

Last time I looked on Amazon, they did not know of this film .

 

[Noodley]

Don't think I have seen it. Is it foreign? It sounds it.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Watch it Noodley. Now. It's brilliant.

Here's a bit of it. Apparently they actually did the music as it's shown in the animation.

Amazon does know of this film. I think I may have spelled it wrong last time .

 

[Rhythm Thief]

And Here's the opening.

 

[Keith Oates]

Looks unusual and good from the clip, but I would get bored if that went on for much longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

It doesn't. The little boy at the end of the opening clip gets a bicycle bought for him and finishes up riding in Le Tour. He soon becomes involved with a sinister ring of gamblers after being swept up in the broom wagon. A brilliant film which only the French could have made.

It's not up to the standard of "Tom and Jerry" is it?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Well, what is?
