René Laloux, 1973, 72 min.

This psychedelic science-fiction animation takes place on a planet where alien giants called Draags rule over the Oms, a tiny race of humanlike people. The film is a parable of life and equality that is a pointed message about the evils of tyranny.

Part of The Future of the Past: Utopia/Dystopia, 1965-1984.
