Stars: Alex Cox, Niketa Roman, Satish Ratakonda, Harper Taylor, Brynn Taylor | Written and Directed by Phil Tippett
First started in 1987, over thirty years in the making and the subject of much talk, rumour and speculation, Phil Tippett’s Mad God was certainly one of the most anticipated screenings at this year’s Fantasia. Given Tippett’s track record providing stop motion animation for the likes of RoboCop, Starship Troopers and the original Star Wars trilogy there was little doubt it would be a technical tour de force. The real question was how well the personal vision that had sustained the project over those years would resonate with others besides its creator.
Footage of a tower, possibly the Tower of Babel, being swallowed by black clouds and a scroll with an excerpt from the Bible’s Book of Leviticus promising all manner of divine punishment set the tone for Mad God before the title drops.
