Petros T "L'encyclopedie de grand-maman en 13 volumes" is undoubtedly a display of visual mastery. Walerian Borowczyk has crafted some great animation, whose influence on Terry Gilliam's animated transitions during his Monty Python days is quite apparent. Nevertheless, the film outstays its welcome as the second and third segments are largely superfluous (to be fair, the first one is already a tad too long as well), and with nothing to be juxtaposed against, it is not much more than just a bit of fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
