György Kovásznai Hungary 1980 1h 9m
About (György Kovásznai, Hungary, 1980, 69 min, in Hungarian with English subtitles)
Hungarian director György Kovásznais wildly idiosyncratic animated musical is one of the most indescribably strange, personal and totally irresistible cartoon features ever made.
A walking ball of anxieties, shop window decorator Zsolt (voiced by Kornél Gelley, with Albert Antalffy singing) bursts into the apartment of his fiancées best friend Anikó (voiced by Vera Venzcel, with Kati Bontovits singing), paralyzed with fear at his impending marriage. Zsolt is like a stoned hippie alleycat, or an Eastern European Frank Zappa in a tux; medical student Anikó a more curvaceous and leggy post-modern Betty Boop and both unsure of their attraction to each other, of the choices theyve made, of what life has in store for them.
A truly insane mash-up of styles, from 1920s Art Deco to 1960s Psychedelia to late 1970s louche Roxy Music decadence, Bubble Bath is incredibly restless and creative, the bohemian love-child of Bill Plymptons off-kilter individualism and Ralph Bakshis wonderfully warped, rubbery visual style. In other words: its not quite like any animated film youve ever seen before. Sadly, this was director and animator Kovásznais only feature film he died of leukemia in 1983.
Bubble Bath has been beautifully restored by the National Film Institute in Hungary for its first-ever U.S. release by Deaf Crocodile.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
