я не совсем поняла что я только что посмотрела, но эти 2,5 часа были насыщенными. такое количество отсылок, членов и голых грудей мой мозг пока не в состоянии переварить и понять

Randomly picked.
Back in high school when my literature teacher showed us the book(which the film is based on), I always remembered it's concept and plot because it's really creative and full of points that could be unfolded. I hope someone would adopt the book into a comic of some sorts with creative freedom to expand Lucifer, Adam and Eve's characters.
Even though that I'm hungarian, I had to watch certain scenes multiple times because I couldn't understand the speaking and some words.
The artstyle was very very unique, outstanding, some of my favourite ones were the early human era and the hedonistic era of greece.
As for the narrative and the whole world view of the film and book were a bit outdated and one sided. The book's author was Imre Madach, and during the writing process his wife cheated on him, so most of the time Eve's behavior stuck at where she fails to behave how the society would expect how a woman should behave like a pure maidenlike and virgin statue all of the time till the man comes. Unfortunately her part was only just that while in the meantime it should have been more than just that.

Marcel Jankovics really dedicated 23 years of his life to animate the longest Western animated film. A beautiful and dense way to tell its audience that humanity is fucked.

WOW. Jankovics is a creative genius. I drove the 30 minutes home in silence, replaying the film in my mind, trying to absorb the sheer vastness of what I’d just witnessed.

The beginning of this was honestly pretty tough to follow. It opens in the Garden of Eden with dense, fast-paced language that I struggled to keep up with. But once the film gets going, it totally pulled me in.

The scope of this thing is massive, and it delivers on all fronts. Visually, it’s stunning. Each historical era is animated in a style that reflects the art of that period. Even the language changes tone throughout the ages.

The imagined future outcomes for humanity were fascinating, but I think the middle portion was my favorite - especially the 18th and 19th century. In each era, Adam becomes a prominent figure of the day, trying to play the game and navigate life according to the systems in place. And in every single iteration, we experience firsthand just how horribly it goes. You start to feel the weight of humanity’s endless cycle, and how little it changes at its core.

By the end, the film goes full-blown existential crisis mode. It’s heavy. Fair warning - you feel like you’re spiraling right alongside our protagonist.

All that to say, I feel like I’m only skimming the surface of a film this robust, but it was profound and deeply artistic. I’ll definitely be checking out more of Jankovics’ work after this.
