Lenica is known as a genius of animation, with works full of dark tones and often nightmarish scenes. "Labirynt" is his first representative work, featuring a winged man landing in an unfamiliar city where bizarre urban monsters roam, and strange events unfold one after another... This is a Kafkaesque tale of self-awareness about a lonely winged man. The film is eerie and absurd, yet it unexaggeratedly portrays the devastation and consumption by totalitarian rules. The director attempts to create a new experimental film, blending contemporary abstract collage art, metaphors, and surrealism, using rough and simple materials to convey a simultaneously threatening and absurdly disordered universe. This work is considered one of the finest in animation film history to reflect political themes.
