About This Movie

Ubu (2023) dives into the grotesque with a darkly absurd tone, reflecting Jarry’s original play. The pacing is deliberately disjointed, echoing the chaotic reign of Ubu himself. With practical effects that enhance the surreal atmosphere, it captures the folly of power through a twisted lens. The performances are striking, showcasing a blend of cowardice and bravado that defines Ubu's character. There’s a biting satire underlying the cruelty and absurdity, which feels relevant today. It’s like watching a train wreck unfold, where you can’t look away from the impending doom. If you appreciate films that mix politics and satire with a hefty dose of the absurd, this one's a curious exploration of ambition gone awry.
