Review

Entertainment Weekly, 04/16/1999, p.65, "...Playful, surreal....Transcends kinky clichés by observing his characters' peculiarities with the keenness of a documentarian and the imagination of a poet..." -- Rating: B+

Chicago Sun-Times, 02/13/1998, p.39, "...Svankmajer calls himself a radical surrealist, and like the original surrealists he gains his effects not by abstract fantasies but by taking a skewed new look at everyday reality..."

New York Times, 08/20/1997, p.C11, "...Seriously funny and cheekily subversive....The technique of the film is as sly as its characters..."

Los Angeles Times, 09/19/1997, p.F17, "...A brilliant fable of sexual longing and gratification at its most furtive and kinkiest..."

Product Notes

Revered Czech animator Svankmajer's 1993 film is a virtually dialogue-free exploration of the strange intimate workings of the lives of six common people. Through a disturbing mix of live action and the wondrous stop-motion animation that the director is famous for, the humdrum lives of a postwoman, shopkeeper, television presenter, detective, and two apartment dwellers are examined and intertwined while we see the elaborate processes these people go through to satisfy strange fetishes which involve food, animals, and everything in between in a way which is not all sexual to the observer. Awarded the Persistence of Vision Award at the 1997 San Francisco Film Festival.
