Making its acclaimed debut at the Cannes Film Festival, BELLE is a stunning new maximalist anime from Mamoru Hosada (The Boy and the Beast, Summer Wars). What begins as a mash-up of Beauty and the Beast and Ready Player One evolves in unexpected and moving ways as shy high school student Suzu finds her voice with the help of an immersive new form of social media.

"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." - Little White Lies
