Movie

Ubu and the Great Gidouille

Released: January 1, 1979 (1979)

Runtime: 80 minutes

Genres: Drama, Animation, Crime

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.
