About
A sharply witty retelling of Beowulf that examines what it means to be a ‘monster’. Grendel, Grendel, Grendel upends the heroic story tradition by situating the narrative from the perspective of Grendel, described in the original poem as ‘a creature of darkness’. A seminal work of Australian animation, the film has gained a cult following since its limited release in 1981.
