Name: Ubu roi
Genre: Fantasy
Duration: 50 min
Cast: Gyearbuor Asante, Brenda Bruce, Jacqueline Delhaye

Donald Pleasance goes all classical doing this bizarre Jarry play, which I read--a handwritten babble of epic tale-telling.

As a TV movie of sorts, this comes off like Monty Python invading some broadway stage dealing in the English fine arts.

Rubber prosthetics, garish colors, sassy talking, hobo autocracy, and all kinds of great late night entertainment!

The video has the oversaturated glare of Hee Haw and the late night diner jazz of a Tom Waits hallucination. I saw it in England somehow, and I have always wanted to find a legitimate copy.

Someone! Find the tape! Donald Pleasance and Alfred Jarry made a winning mix here.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.
