King Ubu

Ubu król · dir. Piotr Szulkin
Poland 2003, 90’

Screenings

19 October, 21:45 · Od Nowa – new hall

By adulating scum and buttering influential people up, Ubu takes control over the country, in a bloody coup, using the slogans of freedom and democracy. His mindless and merciless rule serves only one purpose: to collect as much wealth, as possible. He introduces absurd reforms, citizens become poorer and poorer, and the State Treasury turns out to be empty. Surrounded by flatterers, Ubu cranks up the spiral of terror. He goes for war against the Russian tsar, instigated by ambassadors of foreign countries. This endeavour is a disaster, and the king and his wife are exiled by the people. Tsar comes to the capital. There, together with the ambassadors, he elects a new queen, who is expected to become a puppet controlled by the tsar.
