# Belladonna of Sadness (1973)

1973 · 86 min · Japan

Original title: 哀しみのベラドンナ
Part of: Animerama

## Synopsis

Belladonna of Sadness  is a 1973 Japanese adult animated drama film produced by Mushi Production and distributed by Nippon Herald Films. It is the third and final installment in the studio's adult-oriented Animerama trilogy, following A Thousand and One Nights (1969) and Cleopatra (1970). Set in a stylized medieval European setting and inspired in part by the French work Satanism and Witchcraft by Jules Michelet, the film reflects the studio’s late-period shift toward experimental, artistically oriented feature animation for adult audiences.
