Storyline
King Ubu’ is a complex, politically-pointed farce critical of Poland’s government.   I’d be lying if I said I grasped all the ideas and commentary which the film offers, but this is an expertly done, highly enjoyable, farce nonetheless.  Based off a famous polish play, the film is shot in a very open, stage-like style, where Sulzkin’s camera free-flows around the characters and the action.  The film has a few musical numbers and the staging and visual design of the film is just breathtaking, filling the frame in almost every shot.  It’s a dingy, dirty setting where corrupted politicians, foreign influences, human greed, and poverty greatly influence this so-called democracy, making it no better than the same authoritarian society which existed beforehand.    Full of absurdest humor and outlandish, yet demented performances, “King Ubu’ is a fascinating farce which glows in its childishly bawdy production design, and light, yet directed tone.   I have a feeling I would love this even more if I knew more about the politics in Poland…
