Synopsis
This Oscar-nominated film is a graphic masterpiece about eternal human struggle. The superhuman effort of the ancient Greek hero Sisyphus has been turned into an intense viewing experience by the brush strokes pulsating and transforming virtually frame by frame. The metamorphoses of the figure span from naturalistic to complete abstraction.
