Review of Darkness/Light/Darkness

Wonderful surrealistic allegory of human constitution. The darkness symbolize time before birth and after death. Between these two moments, the human beings builds itself with a series of tests in which the wrong possibilities are one by one eliminated. Survives the only functional organization of body, but when this is over it's time again to set off the light. The stop motion animation makes Svankmajer able to communicate all the organic sense of this construction, the part of the body assembled, the fight or game of hands against each other and the grotesque and at the same time hilarious sense of flesh and combination of it. Lynchan, surrealistic and expressionistic: amazing.
