Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer
Film Review

I.

These shorts are very imaginative and stimulative. I found them fascinating, appearing real to my mind at some level. While I agree with other reviewers that the shorts are repetitive, the repetition builds suspense and causes one to wonder to what degree of absurdity, how far things can be taken. The words of the animator himself sum it up best: "Animation is about magic."

3.75 / 5.0
