1,500 copies for 4K on pre-order
Signed by Mamoru Hosoda of Studio Chizu, one of Miyazaki's possible successors (The Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, The Crossing of Time), Belle, a reinterpretation of a famous tale, will be shown on video on 29 June. The Collector 4K/Blu-Ray version with Japanese original soundtrack (OST), limited to 1,500 copies, will be available for pre-order from April 28 at an indicative price of 79.99 euros.
An almost unprecedented film
When it was released in theatres, Belle enjoyed an excellent critical reception, hailing its classy aesthetic - usual with Hosoda - but above all its resolutely feminist modernization of a classic. The film, unfortunately released on December 29, unfortunately only met a little over a hundred thousand spectators in dark rooms. This opulent Home Cinema release will certainly earn it a much wider echo.
