DIRECTOR’S NOTE
“BELLE is the film I’ve always dreamed of making and which now I’ve finally been able to make thanks to the success of my previous films. In BELLE, I explore romance, action and suspense, as well as deeper themes such as life and death. I hope that cinemagoers will also find it very entertaining for that is my intention. In the past I have dealt with the way in which people have become more connected than ever before, as well as the infinite subject of connectivity via the internet, which I hope will enable the younger generation to change the world for the better in a positive and fun way. But I am also very conscious of the problems associated with the internet such as online abuse, social exclusion and fake news.

However, I remain convinced that the internet can also be a tool for good, to improve the lives of all. As the internet is constantly evolving, I promised myself that I would make a film that would show its positive benefits.
My own professional and personal life has improved exponentially thanks to the internet, and I feel that I am now one step closer to my vision of the future that I had imagined over 10 years ago. In this age of constant and rapid change, with few restrictions on conventional wisdom, I was bound to make a film on this subject one day. However, I also think that the importance of some of the fundamentals of life will stay unchanged forever. Even if the tools and modes of transmission evolve, what we have inherited and learnt over the generations will endure... At least, that's what I hope for: a world that is changing at breakneck speed, but where the fundamentals of human existence endure.”

Om filmen

Upptäck en värld där du kan leva, där du kan älska, där du kan vara fri.

Suzu är en blyg skolflicka som inte varit särskilt lycklig sedan hennes mamma dog. Vad hennes klasskompisar inte vet är att hon har en hemlig identitet - Belle - i den virtuella appen U, där hon är ett musikaliskt stjärnskott.

Men när en okänd varelse börjar förstöra för Belle så uppstår kaos i appen. Tillsammans med sin bästa vän Kiro måste Belle ta reda på vem odjuret egentligen är och vilka mörka hemligheter som ligger bakom dess själsliga ärr.

VARIETY : A Feminist Beauty and the Beast Fable for the Digital Era. Anime master Mamoru Hosoda imagines another forward-thinking virtual world, “U,” using it as the backdrop for an empowering musical fairy-tale. - Peter Debruge

LITTLE WHITE LIES : Fast becoming one of the most exciting filmmakers in Japanese animation, Hosoda continues to build on an impressive body of work, dealing with heavy themes in a sensitive and artistic manner. “The world is the same everywhere,” Suzu laments, but Hosoda suggests maybe that’s no bad thing: at least we have each other. - Hanna Strong

THE GUARDIAN:  ★★★★ - Gorgeous, big-hearted anime. What would happen if digital avatars were truer reflections of the self, asks writer-director Mamoru Hosoda, in this all-out beautiful film. The film’s message is a beautiful one: to integrate our real-life vulnerabilities with the persona we project is to become all the more powerful - Simran Hans

THE GUARDIAN:  ⭐⭐⭐ - Anime that makes for an intriguing big-screen spectacle - Peter Bradshaw

THE NEW YORK TIMES:  Soaring and Singing Over the Online Rainbow. In this gorgeous anime, a high school student journeys into a virtual world and finds herself amid cute, kooky and menacing fellow users. - Manohla Dargis
