Ubu et la grande Gidouille

Jan 1 1979 N/A 1h 20m

Animation, Crime, Drama

An extraordinary cut-out-and-move adaptation of all three of Jarry's Ubu plays. The characters are caricatured almost to abstraction- in the opening scene Ma Ubu is even depicted as a bug, Pa Ubu has a massive jaw and a microcephalic brain case.

Plot

Based on Alfred Jarry's play Ubu King which was considered as a precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd, the film tells the story of Ubu who seizes the throne of Poland after having massacred the King Wenceslas.
