Sisyphus
Directed by Marcell Jankovics
Produced by Hungarofilm, Pannónia Filmstúdió
A meditative, minimalist animation that distills the myth of eternal punishment into a profound meditation on futility, suffering, and the human condition.
The film is an artistically spare depiction of the Greek myth of Sisyphus, sentenced to eternally roll a stone up a mountain. The story is presented in a single, unbroken shot, consisting of a dynamic line drawing of Sisyphus, the stone, and the mountainside.
