Black and white seems to be the new colour when it comes to adult animated movies from France, especially those with a comics source or styling.
Review by Paul Gravett

Status, and the authority associated with it, is everything here, and to Park’s dismay, the flashy white Mercedes he is driving loses out to Moon-jae’s uniform. This is the start of A Bloody Aria’s anarchic, absurdist, clever, complex and darkly funny investigation of the power games that dominate human relationships.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that a film about porn and masturbation set in Los Angeles would be the latest release from the Seth Rogen/Judd Apatow school of romantic comedy.

Review by Franz Kerola

Despite its lurid title and its standard plot (probably pitched as Shane meets High Noon – with harpoons!!!), Terror in a Texas Town stands as the epitome of these developments. Written by perhaps the most famous of McCarthy’s Hollywood victims, Dalton Trumbo, the film comes with a heavy dose of both psychology and politics.

In the near future, a theme park has been created which lets visitors experience the past by interacting with living, breathing creatures. However, something goes wrong and before long the exhibits start killing the guests…
