Der Einzug des Rokoko ins Inselreich der Huzzis
Innovative Cinema, AT 1989, DCP, 103 min, dOFDisappointed by his mother, a Viennese prostitute, a young man embarks on a sea voyage. The journey leads him to the island kingdom of the Huzzis, whom he intends to subjugate. However, his victims prove to be surprisingly stubborn.
The Entry of Rococo into the Island Kingdom of the Huzzis
is a tremendous grotesque, a black-and-white bricolage world full of oversized (sexual) objects, a revue show between Kabuki and vaudeville, circus and commedia dell’arte, pantomime and shadow play. A treasure trove of bizarre songs and rhymes. And a triumph of the absurd.
