The Intellectual
Poland1969animated8'Retrospektywa Witolda Giersza (2017)
Painted with a spatula in the poetics of cave paintings (with the addition of, among others, the Vitruvian Man promoted by Leonardo da Vinci) this perverse film focuses on competition, just like Ladies and Gentlemen, an amusing story made five years earlier. This time the muscles and the brain compete for the affection of a nubile woman. Worth a laugh as well as a reflection. Festival awards in Paris and Vienna.
