The Games of Angels
Directed by Walerian Borowczyk
Produced by Les Cinéastes Associés
A haunting, surreal animated descent into an abstract labyrinth evoking unspeakable horror and existential dread through painterly abstraction and enigmatic imagery.
Animated short. Abstract forms in a setting evocative of a concentration camp created by the universe. Based on a series of paintings by the Polish artists and filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk, Les Jeux des Anges takes the viewer into a nightmarish and sinister labyrinth world. With images reminiscent of Bosch and Ernst and an abstract soundtrack the film evoke unspeakable horrors lurking at the heart Borowczyk's masterpiece. Borowczyk described the film himself as "A report on the city of angels."
