Description
An intricate, multi-layered exploration of the aesthetic and philosophical aspects of Švankmajer’s animated films.
Made in 1984 when Švankmajer was barely known outside of his home country, producer Keith Griffiths embarked on a mission to explore his work, with its deep routes in art history, surrealism and Gothic literature.
Includes the surreal short stop-motion film by the Brothers Quay, an homage to the influential short film maker.
