[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 258833, member: 176256"] Just finished watching Belleville Rendezvous which came free with The Times today - in fact it was the reason I bought the paper. I first watched it about 2 years ago the BBC and it was just as enjoyable this time round. What a marvellously bizarre film. Some really great ideas (frogs legs anyone?), wonderfully acute drawings (all the fat Americans, the diminutive Mafia bosses) and a storyline that defies belief! I can't think of anything else that combines cycling, kidnapping, illegal betting and the Mafia! All wrapped up in one man's obsession for the Tour de France (although renamed here). I hadn't realised that the Beeb had a hand in its production until I saw their their name in the credits. I think they deserve congratulating for their nerve and forsight. You can probably tell a little bit about me from the fact that I enjoyed it so much. [/QUOTE]
