LOCARNO 2021: MAD GOD BY PHIL TIPPETT
By Mónica Delgado
We are facing a work of epic nature in every sense. It took Phil Tippett thirty years to materialize this almost hour and a half of purgatory, dystopian nightmare, putrid fantasy made of flesh and impossible alchemy. Presented out of competition at the recent Locarno film festival, Mad God (2021) fulfills a long dream in stop motion and becomes the “garden of delights” of the 21st century in steamgoth and, above all, steampunk.
