Theatre Of Mr & Mrs Kabal (blu-ray) *New* and 12 similar items

Brand new factory sealed blu-ray that is Out Of Print (OOP) and no longer being manufactured. In French with English subtitles. B W with little color, Full screen aspect ratio for the era. Years-in-the-making animated film from controversial live action director of 'Goto, Isle of Love', 'Immoral Tales' and the 'Beast'. The dark and grotesque story of a married couple: the wife - a mechanical monster made up of iron parts, and her henpecked husband. When Mrs Kabal eats a butterfly, she gets indigestion and her husband has to travel to her insides to search for the cause of the illness. The film includes colored photographic inserts - Mrs Kabal's dreams. A mixture of cut-out and drawn animation is used, but also clippings of old illustrations and photographs and even a processed live-action appearence of the director himself. Most images are black-and-white, with only the occasional colored element. The sound design adds a lot to the surreal atmosphere. Mrs. Kabal speaks in an illegible collage of cut-up human sounds, sometimes translated into subtitles.
