Mayakovsky Laughs (1976)

Name: Mayakovsky Laughs
Genre: Animation, Comedy
Released: 1976
Duration: 82 min

Directed by Sergei Yutkevich, Anatoliy Karanovich

Animation, Comedy · 1h 22m

This little-seen and little-discussed film combines animation with self-reflexive, live action segments to embody the anarchic, satiric spirit of the poet and playwright Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930). The film also showcases Sergei Yuktevich's fondness for formal experimentation. It is nominally adapted from Mayakovsky's play "The Bedbug" and his screenplay "Forget All About the Fireplace."
