Sisyphus is a Hungarian animated short film directed by Marcell Jankovics in 1975.
action
A muscular, naked man, with great effort, is rolling a stone uphill that is getting bigger and bigger. The man manages to place the larger than man-sized stone on the top of the mountain - the mountain consists of innumerable, stacked, round stones.
production
Sysiphus is based on the Greek myth about Sisyphus . The film consists of 1,600 ink drawings that Jankovics worked on alone for around six months.
Jankovics received critical acclaim for its animation skills. Sisyphus “was particularly impressive because of its technique. With large brush strokes, Jankovic gave the man who repeatedly tried in vain to roll a boulder up the steep mountain, a rhythm of movement of high artistic quality ”. With just a few brushstrokes, Jankovics is able to express such power and dynamism as only masterful animation skills can, according to the criticism.
Awards
Sisyphus was nominated for an Oscar in the category " Best Animated Short Film " in 1976 , but could not prevail against Great .
