Release Date: 1979-01-01
Runtime: 1h 20min
Production Company: Les Films Armorial
Production Country: France
Director: Jan Lenica

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.
