Animated short. Abstract forms in a setting evocative of a concentration camp created by the universe. Based on a series of paintings by the Polish artists and filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk, Les Jeux des Anges takes the viewer into a nightmarish and sinister labyrinth world. With images reminiscent of Bosch and Ernst and an abstract soundtrack the film evoke unspeakable horrors lurking at the heart Borowczyk's masterpiece.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Borowczyk constructs a nightmarish report from a universe of pure geometry and industrial sound, relying on abstract forms to evoke the machinery of suffering. It explores a sinister labyrinth where order itself becomes the instrument of horror.

What lingers after viewing is not a story, but a profound sensory imprint of cold, systematic dread—a vision of hell rendered through perfect, oppressive shapes. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Walerian Borowczyk

Watch in darkness, with full attention, to be consumed by its abstract, oppressive geometry.
