'Belladonna of Sadness' 1973 - Eiichi Yamamoto.

I found the exquisitely ornate animated fantasy Belladonna of Sadness to be a uniquely bewitching, kaleidoscopically sensual, deliriously psychedelicized experience!  It is quite unlike anything else, Yamamoto's compellingly adult, Raven dark fairy tale exits in its very own hermetically sealed, brightly bejewelled cosmos of creative excellence! Watching this ravishing 70s phantasmagoria without any preconceptions actively heightened the sublimely immersive experience! The gifted actors voicing these vividly drawn characters are quite brilliant, and the oneiric acid/psyche score is a perfect complement to the eldritch, other-worldly visuals.
