My 150 Favorite Movies - #29

The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

This amazing French film about a young bicyclist who is kidnapped during the Tour de France, and then rescued by his grandmother and dog, along with help from a retired singing group called the "Triplets of Belleville," is unlike any other movie ever. The film takes place in the 1950's, is almost entirely in black and white, and is also almost entirely devoid of dialogue. It is also animated. Enjoyably witty, with many visual puns, every frame is a delight.
