Legendary Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics created a definitive masterpiece of world cinema with this psychedelic adaptation of a beloved Hungarian folk tale.

Traversing a psychedelic and otherworldly canvas, Son of the White Mare follows mythic folk heroes Treeshaker, Stonecrumbler and Irontemperer as they descend into the perilous Underworld on an epic quest to battle the forces of ancient evil and save the cosmos.

An astonishing fantasy epic, this kaleidoscopic medley of ground-breaking styles is a must-see for any fan of animation by a master of the form – and stands with the great works of twentieth-century European cinema, animated or otherwise.
