In Focus: In Hungary
Jankovics’s cutting-edge masterpiece is an adaptation of the ancient legends of the early nomadic Steppe people (such as the Huns, the Avars and the Magyars).
The film has a rather special position in the history of animated films, because it can be best described as an abstract version of tales, both in its visual representation and its storytelling. Being a radical example of the ornamental style, the film produces a dreamlike visual world, which is created from the continuous presence of metamorphoses, changing of colours, and recurring images of lightnings, shatters, and mandala.
