Society of Kovásznai and Dr Végh in the 60?s
“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” comes to mind while I am watching the series painted onto browned papers showing faces half hidden behind walls with their careful peering looks. These pictures reemerge in the 1967 Hamlet adaptation by György Kovásznai, which gained several international animation film prizes. No matter whether he worked on an adaptation or his own scripts, Kovásznai?s drawings and paintings have real drama in them reflecting the general feeling of his age. In his paintings, writings and films he always uses a very sensitive ?smell sensor? and often expresses the contradictions between one?s personal desire for freedom and feelings of justice and the political and social determinations of that time.
