Ubu and the Great Gidouille
Ubu and the Great Gidouille
1979, French. Directed by Jan Lenica.
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.
