Bizarrely Irresistible Hungarian Animated Musical BUBBLE BATH (1980) — ᴀ ᴅʀᴀᴡɴ ᴠɪsɪᴏɴs sᴄʀᴇᴇɴɪɴɢ
August 3 : 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
“Hungary’s third ever full-length animated feature is a true curio and a work of minor genius: a gallopingly neurotic modernist-psychedelic musical from 1979 that bubbles and pulsates with anxieties about modernity… The crazed energy is irresistible” – The Guardian
Bubble Bath is the bohemian animated love child of Bill Plympton and Ralph Bakshi, touching on a wide range of styles from 1920s Art Deco to 1960s Psychedelia and 1970s louche Roxy Music-style decadence. This idiosyncratic musical from Hungarian director György Kovásznai is an indescribably strange, personal and totally irresistible screwball sitcom. A walking ball of anxieties, shop window decorator Zsolt is like a stoned hippie alleycat, or an Eastern European Frank Zappa in a tux; medical student Anikó a more curvaceous post-modern Betty Boop — and both unsure of their attraction to each other, of the choices they’ve made, of what life has in store for them.
Each month, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange, the underseen, and the unclassifiable, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids, they’re for total freaks too!
