the jury report states:
"A film that gives the viewer a great deal of desire to rediscover the work of Maurits Cornelis Escher. The film tells a complete and well-documented story, in which the intimate life and the world-famous work of this artist are combined. Escher, who claimed incidentally to be more a mathematician than an artist. This film would also earn prizes for his ingenious and varied soundtrack, a prize for elegant animations and a prize for humour in the "voice over" spoken by Stephen Fry."
