BUBBLE BATH

“Like Van Gogh, Fleischer Studios, Robert Crumb, YELLOW SUBMARINE and the abstract-thought section of Pixar’s INSIDE OUT smooshed into a great lysergic cake.” – Phil Hoad, The Guardian

BUBBLE BATH is the bohemian animated love child of Bill Plympton and Ralph Bakshi, touching on a wide range of styles from 1920s Art Deco to 1960s Psychedelia and 1970s louche Roxy Music-style decadence. This idiosyncratic musical from Hungarian director György Kovásznai is a most indescribably strange, personal and totally irresistible screwball sitcom. A walking ball of anxieties, shop window decorator Zsolt is like a stoned hippie alleycat, or an Eastern European Frank Zappa in a tux; medical student Anikó a more curvaceous post-modern Betty Boop -- and both unsure of their attraction to each other, of the choices they’ve made, of what life has in store for them.
