Piskač iz Hamelina / Krysař / The Pied Piper
Jiří Barta
Czechoslovakia, West Germany , 1985, 35mm, 55'00''
A modern version of the medieval German legend about a rat-catcher that punishes the sinful and insolent town Hammeln. It is one of the most complex animated films ever shot. The original legend serves only as a basis for a completely new, exceptional art piece from both artistic and film point of view. The film deserves its place among the masterpieces of Czech and world animation.
