The Creation of the World

1958 · 1h 27m · Animation, Comedy, Family, Fantasy

If you're in the mood for quirky, retro animation with a cheeky sense of humor, this obscure French-Czech oddity is absolutely worth your time tonight. It's a genuinely inventive comedy that plays with religious mythology in a playful way, and the vintage Effel-inspired artwork gives it real visual charm that you won't see in modern movies.

Plot

La Création du Monde is among the first animated feature films made in France. But to be exact, the film was animated in Czechia and directed by Eduard Hofman. It is adapted from a series of five books by Jean Effel, a French caricaturist and illustrator. The visual style is adapted from his drawings. The film is a comedy about the creation of the universe in six days, with the devil messing around and contributing in his own way.

Director: Eduard Hofman

Cast: Jan Werich, Georges Aminel, François Périer, Martine Sarcey, André Vessières
