Until an hour ago, I never heard of Jan Svankmajer, and at this moment I still have no idea of who he is and what he did, but after this unforgettable experience I will definitely explore it. This short movie combines live-action with stop-motion animation in a morbidly fascinating way, and while it is quite disgusting and sick, it is at the same time mesmerizing and thought-provoking. I think I figured what the author wanted to say, but I do not want to go into an analysis of the "story" because it is better if you see the film without any knowledge of what awaits you, and then get your own conclusions after your impressions settle. And the impressions are guaranteed to be strong. Take my word when I tell you that this film is worth 15 minutes of your time. It left me speechless in the most positive sense.
