Bubble Bath – Annecy Classics

A must-see psychedelic journey! "The sound and image are almost inseparable; the melodies appear as colours and the rhythm as throbbing lines." A figure of speech that György Kovásznai acheived with his film Bubble Bath released in 1980.

An outstanding figure in Hungarian animation in the 1970s, here the director presents a modernist feature film, characteristic of his work where he combines painting and documentary: this is a captivating slice of life. A man on the verge of getting married realises he is in love with his bride-to-be’s friend.

It’s "an animated musical comedy to the rhythm of a heartbeat", as György Kovásznai himself describes it!

With Annecy Classics, the Festival pays tribute to timeless shorts and features to remind us of the great moments in the history of animation. It highlights avant-garde techniques, the journey of brilliant directors, and celebrates key events. Take a break and rediscover the great animated classics!
