Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
MR. AND MRS. KABAL'S THEATRE
Théâtre de M. et Mme. Kabal
Synopsis
Mr. and Mrs. Kabal’s Theatre is Walerian Borowczyk’s first feature-length film and his last animated film. It consists of a sequence of loosely connected scenes, much like a vaudeville program, in which Mr. and Mrs. Kabal perform absurd, surreal, and sometimes cruel acts.

Our take
After working in shorts for a decade, Borowczyk finally leapt to his feature film debut while retaining all the originality of his bizarre and inventive animation (with touches of color-swathed live action!). The ’60s featured many unconventional portraits of marriage but none so strange as this!
