A JOURNEY INTO THE IMAGINATION OF A GENIUS CREATOR
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY & DVD
“PHIL TIPPETT IS A MASTER.”
GUILLERMO DEL TORO
An Assassin emerges from the abyss in a diving bell and plunges into the heart of a hellish universe populated by mutated creatures and mad scientists. Soon captured, he becomes the victim of the world he is charged with destroying...
Second feature film by Phil Tippett, great master of special effects and stop-motion who worked on the saga Star Wars Or Starship Troopers , Mad God is a breathtaking cinematic experience that pushes the limits of the imagination and frees itself from any notion of narrative. Started at the end of the 1980s and completed three decades later, this post-apocalyptic journey paints a portrait of its creator, his personality, his universe and his inimitable style. A wonderful tribute to stop-motion animation.
Unreleased on Blu-ray and DVD
