Heroic Times
1986 : 1 hour 23 minutes
This video is only available with Night Flight+.
Director: Jozsef Gemes
synopsis
“A crime is a crime, even if committed by kings,” intones the narrator of director József Gémes’s animated portrait of the supposedly “heroic” age of medieval knights and kings, a sprawling and bloody tapestry of ruthless combat. Based on an epic narrative poem by 19th century Hungarian writer János Arany, Heroic Times has a unique visual style combining gorgeous oil paintings and silken 2-D animation.
