Ubu Roi

1965 · 95 min Comedy TV Movie
5.6 / 10 · TMDB

Based on Alfredy Jarrry's 1896 play about a greedy, overweight, selfish dude named Pere Ubu. The story follows Ubu on his journey to overthrow the current ruler and become King of Poland. Along the way he betrays many of his followers, taxes the civilians to an unreasonable degree and eventually slaughters everyone. Along his side, is the equally crude but somehow more likable Mere Ubu, who's like a foul mouthed Lady Macbeth.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Ubu Roi has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.6/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1965. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
