Ubu and the Big Thug

1979 · 1 hr 20 mins

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.

Director: Jan Lenica

Cast: Michel Poujade, Janine Grillon
