Belleville

'The beauty of Belleville is that while it arrives at a place of horror, which in lesser hands might smack of implausible melodrama, it never slackens its grip on truth… what makes it so disquieting – and accomplished – is that we're witness to the accumulative power of subtle nudges – each eggs the other on, wittingly and unwittingly, towards a primeval forest of fear, hurt and rage'
