From the directors of the Oscar-nominated Loving Vincent comes another stunning hand-painted animation, The Peasants (Chłopi), based on a Nobel Prize-winning novel by Władysław Reymont.
Crops, relationships and dowries preoccupy the wagging tongues of the villagers of Lipke. Jagna is wedded off to a rich widower, but her love for his son threatens to tear all their lives apart. Like their award-winning Loving Vincent, DK and Hugh Welchman’s latest film evokes a world of breathtaking beauty and occasional brutality, exposing the underbelly of a patriarchal 19th-century rural community. – BFI London Film Festival
