What is Belladonna of Sadness about?
An evil feudal lord rapes a village girl on her wedding night and proceeds to ruin her and her husband's lives. After she's eventually banished from her village, the girl makes a pact with the devil to gain magical ability and take revenge.
Belladonna of Sadness is a 1973 Japanese adult animated drama film produced by Mushi Production and distributed by Nippon Herald Films. It is the third and final installment in the studio's adult-oriented Animerama trilogy, following A Thousand and One Nights (1969) and Cleopatra (1970). Set in a stylized medieval European setting and inspired in part by the French work Satanism and Witchcraft by Jules Michelet, the film reflects the studio’s late-period shift toward experimental, artistically oriented feature animation for adult audiences.
