VAF: The Great History of Western Philosophy

Censur: 15+

Mandarin dialouge, English subtitles

Dansk Premiere

I denne anarkistiske og visuelt sprudlende animerede satire tvinges en kosmisk animator, af Kinas Central Komité, til at lave en seriøs filosofisk film. Men da formand Mao mister tålmodigheden og kræver hans henrettelse, træder den frække abekonge Sun Wukong til for at redde ham. Det bliver starten på en vanvittig rejse gennem filosofi, mytologi, politik, popkultur og surrealistisk humor, hvor intet giver mening – og det er hele pointen. 

Med klare hilsner til Monty Python, dadaisme og radikal collagekunst er "The Great History of Western Philosophy" en vild, regelbrydende rutsjebanetur gennem menneskets tanke-absurditet.

Danish Premier

In this anarchic and visually explosive animated satire, a cosmic animator is forced by the Chinese Central Committee to make a serious philosophical film. But when Chairman Mao grows impatient and demands his execution, Sun Wukong, the mischievous Monkey King, leaps in to save him. What follows is a delirious plunge into philosophy, mythology, politics, pop culture, and surreal comedy, where nothing makes sense and that’s exactly the point.

With nods to Monty Python, Dadaism, and radical collage art, "The Great History of Western Philosophy" is a wild, rule-breaking ride through the absurdity of human thought.
