The Triplets of Belleville - wide release, when?
I konw that this is in LA and New York, (obviousily), but when is Sony going to release this wide - before the end of the year? I have the feeling this film is not going to get included on my '2003 Film' list.

Sony originally had plans just to keep it as a "really limited" release, but with the positive word of mouth it's getting, it should spread to theaters across the country soon, but before the end of the year? I don't coun't on it, unless you live in the top twenty (maybe thirty) markets.

I saw it - very original and funny - to a point. The visuals and the reference to Jacques Tati, Fred Astaire, Josephine Baker, etc. were great. But the plot is rather contrived. I give it an 8/10, definitely worth seeing.

Saw it today and was much impressed. It was well into the film before I realized there weren't subtitles - and they weren't necessary! So, well-crafted and directed.
The story isn't anything deep - its all about the gags and they are very clever. And the visuals of course are totally unlike any other animated film (for obvious reasons.)
Make sure you stay till the end of the credits.
8/10

Great GREAT film! And one of the year's best. I saw it in London this past (late) summer. I'll definitely be seeing it again when it opens here.

I'm planning on seeing it this weekend. I saw the preview before a screening of The Station Agent while I was on a business trip to Southern California a few weeks ago, and the music had me tapping my foot along with it. I hope the film's score uses much of the same music and that it's available on CD.

Wow, what a great film! Triplets has catapulted into my top 10 list for 2003. It's a feast for the eyes and ears, and damn, does this movie have personality! So bizarre and wonderful.

so why was the title changed to "Belleville Rendez-vous" for UK theatrical distribution?

Question: Is the Disney/Dali short Destino a Landmark Theatre exclusive? The New York City presentation I saw last December didn't have it? The film is finally opening here in DC tomorrow (finally!), and I have a choice of four theatres to see it at (one Landmark, two Loews/Cineplex' and the Cinema Arts), and I would favour the Landmark if the short is the bonus.

According to the Landmark website it's exclusive in "most of our markets". I bet that includes DC.

It opened a bit wider in the Chicagoland area this week. I have a tough week at school, so I'm hoping it stays in theaters until next Friday so I can get a chance to see this.
