  if its so surreal and philosophical, then how come the only thing that sticks out for me is an old woman on her death bed with her long grey carrot tits falling into her armpits?

• Tim S

  
  Totally bizarre film. The animation was interesting but some of the story elements weren't very clear and some of the sound effects were annoying.

• Randy T

  
  A bizarre, animated, environmental, sci-fi acid trip (acid optional).

  Although visually it did nothing for me, it did stir the philosopher in me :p I don't know, I guess it shows you something about human nature, but also how different species -read races or people- approach and treat each other. And it also shows you the power of knowledge, and… More
  Although visually it did nothing for me, it did stir the philosopher in me :p I don't know, I guess it shows you something about human nature, but also how different species -read races or people- approach and treat each other. And it also shows you the power of knowledge, and the vulnerability and the strength of the human race. The movie also reminded me of the surreal imagery on the paintings of Jheronimus Bosch, a dutch painter of the 15th and 16th century (one of my favorites!!!). If you're into Madlib (producer, rapper and DJ), you'll probably recognise the music and some samples (Come on Feet!!) <div style="width:369px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/actor/rene-laloux/photos?p=11023803"><img src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/11/02/38/11023803_gal.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">

  Startling and surreal animated film about a gigantic race of blue alien beings who oppress human beings and keep them as pets. Widely regarded as an allegorical statement on the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia.

  Great old skool 70's animation. Reminds me a bit of yellow submarine, but much cooler. A story about a strange planet where humans are pets to giant blue creatures, and they win the war against them by destroying their headless stone mating bodies.

  70's Surreal and philosophical animation about a future world where man is a tiny savage species amongst the more cerebral big blue people, and is treated accordingly as toys and/or pests. Fantastic :-)

• James B

  
  Very cool, trippy French animated feature! Political and social undertones are definitely felt throughout, and the film can be enjoyed both knowing about these issues or w/o them!

  A very interesting animated allegory about the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia. It's also great science-fiction, too. The animation, appropriately psychedelic for 1973, is truly mind-bending, but what really stands out is its fantastic score, which makes brilliant use of synthesizers, women's chorus, flutes, and the clavinet. One of my favorite animated films. Highly recommended, especially if you don't mind heavily psychedelic visuals.
