“It’s distinctive and heady, a worthy heir to such cult animations as FANTASTIC PLANET and HEAVY TRAFFIC.”
— The Chicago Reader
Twenty-three years in the making, THE TRAGEDY OF MAN is an awe-inspiring animated epic — a journey through human history, blending surreal visuals, art, and myth. Lucifer manipulates Adam and Eve, Egyptian slaves’ bodies form the literal foundations of the pyramids, and zealous arguments in the Middle Ages morph into Orthodox churches. Legendary Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics (SON OF THE WHITE MARE) creates a kaleidoscopic world of wonder that lingers in the imagination.
