Jeanne (voiced by Aiko Nagayama) is a peasant woman who has just been Happily Married to Jean (voiced by Katsutaka Ito). However they can't pay the absurdly high marriage tax, so the baron (voiced by Masaya Takahashi) sees fit to have his way with her.When she returns home, she is seduced by the Devil (Tatsuya Nakadai) then finds herself gradually turning to witchcraft to find empowerment and freedom.At first, she and her husband are prosperous but as famine, war, and The Black Death strike the rest of the village, suspicion grows and she is eventually cast out of the village.She wins the villagers over when she offers a miracle cure for The Black Death, but then the nobility catches wind of her power...Belladonna of Sadness (Kanashimi no Belladonna, also known as The Tragedy of Belladonna) is an avant-garde anime film made in 1973, and the final installment in the Mushi Productions' Animerama trilogy that was started by A Thousand & One Nights. Inspired by… Jules Michelet's non-fiction book, Satanism and Witchcraft (or La Sorcière), the film was directed by Osamu Tezuka's disciple, Eiichi Yamamoto, and produced by Tezuka's studio, Mushi Productions.Although the film was initially a commercial failure, it has gained some recognition in anime circles for its experimental animation, which is full of beautifully painted still images, Gustav Klimt Art Nouveau inspired imagery and heavily stylized depictions of sex. The film also inspired Kunihiko Ikuhara to work in anime, and its visual and thematic influences can be seen in Revolutionary Girl Utena.Released in 2016 with theatrical and home video re-release in North America, the official and Red Band trailers can be found here and here. It has also been broadcast, uncensored, late nights on Turner Classic Movies. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: In a very symbolic but very graphic scene, Jeanne is gang-raped by the Baron and other nobles. The scene is rather disturbing and involves Jeanne's body turning into bats amidst her despair. | |

Barefoot Poverty: Jeanne never has any shoes in the beginning because she and her husband, Jean, are farmers with only one cow which they sold for offerings to the baron). It transitions to Prefers Going Barefoot as she's still barefoot when she becomes the town moneylender. | |

| Belladonna of Sadness / int_565106b3 | comment |
Women Are Wiser: Jeanne gets the abilities of a traditional wise woman, such as plant knowledge, healing and making magical potions. She's also more knowledgeable of human nature, judging by the fact that she knows her meeting with the baron will be a trap. In contrast, her husband, Jean, is rather feckless and gets treated like a Butt-Monkey. | |

| Belladonna of Sadness / int_58030b25 | comment |
Visual Innuendo: Despite the numerous explicit sex scenes and a distinct aversion of Barbie Doll Anatomy, the animation uses free forms and contours to convey the eroticism of these scenes. The Devil is a tiny little roughly penis-sized figure wrapped up completely in a white cloak except for his pink head. Shortly thereafter this becomes something more than innuendo as he jumps down into Jeanne's pants and begins pleasuring her. | |

Mind Screwdriver: The symbolism makes a bit more sense if you've read Satanism and Witchcraft. For instance, the eight-minute "Schoolhouse Rock" sequence refers to the book's claim that as part of their Deal with the Devil, witches received all knowledge of past, present, and future. | |

Animation Bump | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: It's rather an animation earthquake when the slide-show "animation" is suddenly replaced by a full-animated psychedelic extravaganza during the Deal with the Devil. In general, the sex scenes are intricately animated while the non-sex plot-moving scenes are Limited Animation or The Ken Burns Effect. There are also dramatic moments where the animation becomes absurdly fluid. The juxtaposition between still frames and moments like these is both jarring and effective. | |

Karma Houdini: The baron receives literally no comeuppance at all for his gang rape of Jeanne, ultimately burning Jeanne at the stake, suppressing the rebellious townspeople, and continuing to reign virtually unopposed. The baroness does cheat on him with the page, causing him to murder them both, but even that doesn't seem to trouble him much. Jeanne's actions are heavily implied to kickstart The French Revolution, but the medieval baron would be long dead by then. | |

Porn with Plot | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_aa8f52c7 | comment |
Porn with Plot: The film is a cult classic for its gorgeous, psychedelic artwork, its awesome psych-prog score and original songs, and its developed, well-written story with feminist themes (explicitly ending with a call for women to be at the front of the revolution — not something you'd expect to see in a porn). It was also intended to be a porno, has some visible budget restrictions due to this, and a lot of very graphic sex scenes. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_c93a6560 | comment |
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The coupling between the page and the mind-controlled baroness ends with both of them impaled on the same sword after they're caught mid-coitus. Jean, after he tries to fight back at Jeanne's execution, is impaled with many spears. | |

Hot Witch | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_c9d9a85f | comment |
Hot Witch: Jeanne makes a Deal with the Devil that turns her into a witch and a Shameless Fanservice Girl with a habit of starting orgies. She's actually put out by this, telling him that she would rather have been made an ugly crone in true Wicked Witch style. But no, the Devil leaves her beauty fully intact. | |

The Ken Burns Effect | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_cb9afcd | comment |
The Ken Burns Effect: The film takes Limited Animation to its logical extreme, as much of the film is simply a camera panning and zooming around still drawings. | |

Emasculated Cuckold | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_cc017ca0 | comment |
Emasculated Cuckold: Jeanne doesn't cheat on Jean perse but is raped by the town's evil baron, but the dynamic is nevertheless there. Jean, a peasant, is devastated by the rape but is a total pushover who is incapable of defending his wife's honor and remains useless throughout the movie, preferring to drink away his sorrows rather than get revenge or exercise power when he gets a promotion to taxpayer. Meanwhile, the rape triggers Jeanne to make a Deal with the Devil and she becomes increasingly sexually and magically empowered as the film progresses. | |

An Arm and a Leg: The baron makes Jean the official tax collector for regularly paying his taxes, but during the war, he can't squeeze anything more from the peasantry. As punishment, the baron has Jean's left hand chopped off. | |

Broken Bird | |
| Belladonna of Sadness / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: It's more like Jean that's the broken one than Jeanne. She is broken after her gang rape but quickly gets her bearings back after meeting the Devil. He, on the other hand, almost strangles his wife after getting cuckolded; from then on, he's rarely sober and his behavior gets worse after she becomes the main money earner then he gets his left hand chopped off for not collecting enough taxes. | |
