Quotes
“This film, told like a fairy tale in the form of a soap opera, is brave, irritating and funny, it never answers one’s expectations and fascinates with its special aesthetics. Therefore we want to award “The Noble Stud“ with the Grand Prix of the festival.”
– International Film Festival Kratkofil Plus 2013
“Naughty and clever reflection on class, power and gender.”
– Alexandra Lind, Gothenburg International Film Festival
“A short animation film wich recalls the techniques of Brecht’s epic theatre, comunicating a political message throung comedy and shock”
