Viktor Kubal, the father of Slovak animation, left an indelible mark on the nation’s film history with his distinctive style and storytelling flair. Now, his cult classic The Bloody Lady—a darkly whimsical take on the legend of Countess Elizabeth Báthory—is getting a second life. This time, it’s accompanied by a hauntingly intimate new soundtrack created by experimental composer claire rousay.
In this story, Romana Grajcarová explores Kubal’s legacy, his unique approach to animation, and how rousay—guided by instinct, field recordings, and even her own heartbeat—brought fresh emotional depth to a Slovak animated gem.
