So after admiring 15 minutes of another beautiful masterpiece by Jan Svankmajer,I have to say that this is by far the best short-film I've ever seen in a while.Knowing how Jan Svankmajer is with his movies,I can really see and feel the creepy vibe the movie provides.The most amazing part is that he uses everyday objects as stop-motion models instead of models.
It all starts with a little girl going down in to a cellar to get some potatoes.She comes across with some normal looking folks.But it all changes with the very creepy and eerie noises which was a brilliant touch by Svankmajer.The folks started eating,bathing,sleeping with charcoal at least that's what I think it is.That was the most creepy and disturbing part of the movie.Watching those disturbing things.When she entered a room with a chest filled with potatoes,that's when the stop motion animation happens.As she was collecting potatoes,the potatoes disappears as if it moved by itself(which it did).Each potato dropped in the basket she brought along,rolled back into the chest full of potatoes.
But then again,Jan Svankmajer has done it again and as earned even more respect from me for his brilliant work.I recommend everyone to watch his films and animations.
