Ecotopia

1995 · 13 min · ★ 7.0 · Animation

Dedicated to the memory of Fritz Lang, this rarely seen late short from Sándor Reisenbüchler offers up an eye-popping ecological vision. Moving from frantic cityscapes bursting with lurid colours and a phantasmagoria of commodities to idyllic pastoral scenes, Ecotopia combines Reisenbüchler’s talent as a painter with his love of collage to skewer consumerism in the post-communist nineties.

Directed by Sándor Reisenbüchler · Written by Dóra Keresztes
