Bill Stamets Chicago Sun-Times Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics adapts Imre Madach's 1861 poem for a pessimistic epic on existence. This illustrated theology lectures: after the Fall, no one is free. Jun 27, 2013 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader This animated adaptation qualifies as an epic in its own right. Jun 13, 2013 Full Review Vassilis Kroustallis Zippy Frames This animated existential-philosophical melange is not without its flaws (close imitation of the Faust being one), yet it shows respect, care and genuine narrative and visual consideration for a subject-matter few would dare to tackle.

Audience Member Full movie and review on my blog max4movies: Az Ember Tragédiája (international title: The Tragedy of Man) is a Hungarian animation epic about the first man and his search for how to transcend his own existence. The movie draws heavily on Christian mythology (e.g., the Biblical origin story) and Western culture (e.g., Renaissance or Ancient Rome) to present mankind's everlasting struggle for transcending mortality and fighting against the decay of cultural achievements. Thus, the presented themes are complex and for a mature audience who look for a narrative that poses these questions in a clever and sometimes stunningly animated way. Due to the movie's troubled production history, the animation quality differs vastly between the various segments, but most are still stunning and/or animated in a clever way.
