What is man? Man makes war, man kills man, man hunts, man is executed. A montage mixing original drawings by Topor, original shots and stock shots that ironically analyze what man is.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a philosophical collage, relying on the stark contrast between Topor's raw drawings and the cold documentary quality of stock footage. It explores not a specific event, but the very mechanism of human cruelty, using montage as its primary analytical tool.
What lingers after viewing is a bitter awareness of this vicious cycle's absurdity. The film offers no answers, but forces a look into the darkest of mirrors. — MovieFinder Editorial
