Kill It and Leave This Town
Mariusz Wilczyński
Polen 2019
88 min
V'20

„Zwischen Poesie und Musik“ siedelt Wilczyński die Kunst der Animation an: Ihre Möglichkeiten sind unendlich, denn zeichnen lässt sich alles. Und zum Beweis legt er mit seinem autobiografisch gefärbten Langfilmdebüt, an dem er 14 Jahre lang gearbeitet hat, ein singuläres Zeichentrick-Werk vor. Eine albtraumartige Reise in das Łódź seiner Kindheit, in dem das Verlorene in Gestalt schmerzender Erinnerungen haust. Das Erschrecken über die existenzielle Einsamkeit letztlich jedes Einzelnen ist in transformationsfreudige, alles andere als gefällige Szenen gefasst, denen ein hochkarätiges Ensemble von Sprecher*innen Dringlichkeit verleiht. (Alexandra Seitz)

In Anwesenheit von Mariusz Wilczyński.

Over a decade in the making, this landmark in politically-conscious adult-oriented European animation is Mariusz Wilczyński’s attempt to make sense of his world and times via a phantasmagorically surreal vision of his post-industrial home city of Łodz. A parade of often-hideous imagery conjures a nightmarish dystopia through which struggle the economically and socially oppressed, psychologically tormented characters (voice-artists include Andrzej Wajda.) Human and animal forms commingle disturbingly in extravagantly imaginative, often violent and/or sexual tableaux, executed with spindly-minimalist virtuosity – Wilczyński landed the Special Jury Award at the world’s leading animation festival, Annecy. Writing in the wake of the film’s warmly-received premiere at the Berlinale, Variety reviewer Jessica Kiang hailed it as “an utterly bizarre, frequently grotesque, occasionally obscene singularity ... [which] exists so far outside the realm of the expected, the acceptable and the neatly comprehensible that it acts as a striking reminder of just how narrow that realm can be.” The sole ray of hope in the stygian gloom is perhaps the bluesy soundtrack by the late Tadeusz Nalepa of cult 1970s band “Breakout”. Moral? Keep on rocking in the “free” world. (Neil Young)
