HEROIC TIMES

"The story of a man coming to terms with his place in this filthy twisted world of paintings and orchestral music. Where has this been my whole life?" - HAL, Letterboxd

The horrors of war come hand-painted in the gorgeous and haunting HEROIC TIMES, the animated Hungarian portrait of the supposedly “heroic” Medieval age with a stunning oil-on-canvas style. Full of enough ruthless combat and palace intrigue to rival "Game Of Thrones", its story follows mythic figure Miklós Toldi and his rise from murderer on-the-run to well-feared knight, exploring the heights of his so-called heroism and his disillusionment towards everlasting brutality. Based on poet János Aranyepic's epic “Toldi Trilogy”, HEROIC TIMES reminds us of both John Boorman’s EXCALIBUR and Ralph Bakshi’s underrated LORD OF THE RINGS.
