THE TRAGEDY OF MAN is Marcell Jankovics’ (SON OF THE WHITE MARE [FEHÉRLÓFIA]) adaptation of a mid-nineteenth century play, comprising the creation of the world through to the present and beyond, with each individual era stunningly rendered in an astonishingly imaginative visual-design. DCP restoration courtesy of Deaf Crocodile. 

Twenty-three years in the making! The first time this Hungarian masterpiece has ever screened in the Pacific Northwest!
