“Another great movie from Anika Glac! I watched Bunny, very recently, at a movie festival and I liked it very much, so I have decided to look some more of her movies. Belladonna is a beautiful romance with a very nice scenes shot in nature. Contrary to Bunny it is not that funny, but somewhat left a deeper impact on me after watching it. Traveling through the Lukeu0026#39;s conscious a viewer will encounter a world of mysterious forests with witches, so I would dare to call this movie a fantasy-romance. Its story is unlike anything I have ever seen before and it held my attention to the very end. The actors did a great job in portraying their characters and I would highly recommend this independent European movie to anyone.”
