02Jabberwocky (1971), dir. by Jan Svankmajer
I love the tangibility of my discomfort every time I watch something by Svankmajer. Of course, some things I’ll never be able to revisit because the discomfort’s too great (Little Otik, moments in Virile Games), but I definitely get a few of his films; this is one. The soundtrack makes me very happy.
Some more awesome stop-motion for you guys-
Kybernetická babička/The Cybernetic Grandma (1962), dir. by Jiří Trnka
(part one of three)
From idaadi.multiply.com: “[The Cybernetic Grandma is] a vision of the future in which machines and robots try to substitute themselves into the most beautiful human relationships. A cybernetic robot is supposed to substitute for the loving grandmother of a little girl. The wise grandmother, however, comes back and the girl finds the warmth of her grandmother’s loving arms again.”
