Cinémoi takes you on a magical journey with Belleville Rendez-Vous.

Set in an enchanting, dream-like vision of Paris, Montreal and New York, this simple yet darkly hilarious tale of love and adventure involves two out of the ordinary superheroes. When her grandson, a cycling-obsessed boy named Champion, is kidnapped by villains during the Tour de France, taskmaster Madame Souza and her faithful dog Bruno team up with ‘The Triplets’ - a retired music-hall trio of spinster sisters – to rescue him.

A true delight for all ages and highly praised by audiences and critics for its unique style of animation, Belleville Rendez-Vous is a winning blend of bittersweet and bizarre humour, evoking French slapstick genius Jacques Tati, Tim Burton and classic comic books.

A must-see animated gem combining a fantastical mix of the weird and the wonderful, from the ingenious mind of Sylvain Chomet (The Illusionist).
