MOVIE • 1979

Ubu and the Great Gidouille

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

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.
