Directed by György Kovásznai • Animation • With Vera Venzcel, Kornél Gelley • 1979 • 80 minutes
A truly unique and surreal animated musical comedy from Hungary by György Kovásznai about a high-strung window decorator about to be married who bursts into the apartment of his fiancée's best friend and confesses his fears and anxieties. A truly insane and surprisingly sexy mash-up of styles, from 1920s Art Deco to 1960s Psychedelia to late 1970s louche Roxy Music decadence.
