New digital restoration

Strangely moving, Borowczyk’s existential soap opera (and only animated feature) eschews dialogue and conventional narrative to evoke the highs and lows of married life and serves as a stiff antidote to Disney’s saccharine whimsy.

New digital restoration

Bizarre, grotesque, and yet strangely moving, Borowczyk’s existential soap opera eschews dialogue (for the most part) and conventional narrative to evoke the highs and lows of married life. Set in a barren wasteland thinly populated by exotic flora and fauna, Borowczyk’s only animated feature (rendered in sparse, coarse, and, for the most part, monochrome graphics) serves as a stiff antidote to Disney’s saccharine whimsy.
