    I appreciate the high quality surreal animation, but was otherwise diassapointed by this. Nearly all of the imagery comes from Jan Svankmajor, without Svankmajor's wit, whimsy, and story telling abilities. "Street Of The Crocodiles, which I had heard...(read more)...(read more) so much about, was beautiful and ephemeral, it just didn't touch on any new nerves for me. However those who enjoy the more abstract side of animation may find this right up their alley, but if your looking for macabre, literate, Rube Goldbergian animation with storytelling to match it's visual lushness, I would try some "an Svankmajor short films, otherwise this is all you.

    Some of the most beautiful imagery I've seen, there was one movie, before "The Comb", which really haunted me, its eerie tone and setting was very startling, the other films, particulalrly "The Comb" were extremely good, each shot meant to have its resolution, a very unique and atypical idea of displaying visuals and information. I genuinely would like to learn how to achieve the effects done here. Absolutely beautiful.

    These filmmakers have the uncanny ability to reproduce exactly the quality of dreams. Their films all make sense, but only in the universe of dreams. They are, like dreams, perhaps disturbing at first, until you open your eyes to the artistry of it all. Then they're amazing. And, yes, they will stay with you, like a half-remembered dream of your own.
