At the next movie club at HEI we propose BUBBLE BATH, a feature-length film directed by the pioneer of Hungarian animation: György Kovásznai (1934-1983).

His first and only feature film, which we will see together on Wednesday, November 6, is one of the most remarkable landmarks on the national and international animation palette.

BUBBLE BATH (GYÖRGY KOVÁSZNAI, HUNGARY, 1980)

Synopsis:
Zsolt, a neurotic window decorator seeks solace with his future wife's best friend on the very day of his wedding. The narrative is anecdotal, featuring characters who are leaving their youth behind, plagued by personal anxieties that are both generational and civilizational; all wrapped up in a visual delirium that serves as both form and content.

Participation is free.

Venue: HEI - House of European Institutes, Bastion 1.

Hosted by Cristina Băldău and Gavril Pop.

After the movie follows a few minutes of discussion about the movie.
We look forward to meeting you!
