"Meat Love" is not only a play on words, it is also possibly Jan Svankmajer's shortest work. In this movie from over 25 years ago, the Czech animation legends breathes life into a pair of meat chops/steaks here and the two are in love. Early on, it looked like one of them would cheat on the other with a spoon, which was maybe the funniest moment when (s)he got caught. And even as a vegetarian I must say that the last 10 seconds made me kinda hungry. I am a bit critical about most of Svankmajer's other work, but here he delivers a nice film. Maybe it is my favorite from him and maybe his style only works for one minute for me. I am not sure, but I enjoyed this film and recommend it. Also it is a good way to start with Svankmajer's body of work as his style is clearly visible in here. Today Pixar are the masters of breathing life into inanimate objects, back then it was Jan Svankmajer. Thumbs up for his work here.
