BIBLIOTHÈQUE PASCAL (2010) [feature]

Hungary/Germany/UK (MIFF2010,International Panorama)
Director: Szabolcs Hajdu

“Spins a dark fairytale, riffing on various storytelling traditions from circus puppet shows to great literature.” - Screen International

An original and outlandish trip into a surreal and kinky world that Terry Gilliam would be proud to call his own, Bibliothèque Pascal delves into the imagination of its heroine Mona, as she recounts a story of being sold into the illegal sex-trade.

Following Mona as she becomes a cast member of the Bibliothèque Pascal, a high-class sex club, this darkly fantastical tale sees Hungarian filmmaker Szabolcs Hajdu let his imagination and fantasy run riot.

“The work of an imaginative film-maker with ambition and chutzpah, an original that will win admirers and detractors in equal measure.” - Screen International
