Král Ubu

1996 · 1 hr 28 mins

A cruel picture of the ways in which human beings acquire power and then cling to it. The story of Father Ubu, an idiot who climbs over the bodies of the dead to his royal post, is presented with a touch of the grotesque where naive comic elements meet black humor. Using a human touch, the film- makers were able to transform the original into a film aimed at a contemporary audience while remaining faithful to the vision of Father Ubu and Mother Ubu venturing everything in their efforts to seize power and mammon.

Director: F. A. Brabec

Cast: Marián Labuda, Lucie Bílá, Karel Roden, Ivan Zachariáš, Ester Geislerová
