And so much more, Age of Gold, Discrete Charm, Belle duJour, Phantom of
Liberty, So very many beautifully surreal and gleefully bizzare films, He was
the Lynch of his time. Love his work.

Have you ever seen Jean Cocteau's Blood of a Poet? Right there in the
unspoken Can You Top This One? competition within the Surrealist school of
cinema circa 1930.

"Thank God I'm still an Atheist." -- Luis Bunuel.

Is the Svankmajer surrealism of today a descendent of or part of the
same school as Bunuel's surrealism? You want surreal and gleefully
bizarre, check out his _Conspirators of Pleasure_. Your mind gets
massaged for 90 minutes.

My faves:

Dimensions of Dialogue by Svankmajer and anything by the Quay brothers.

Is that the one where the objects keep "eating" one another until they
become more finely ground up? I think I've seen all from Svankmajer
that's available on video. If he took the damned dialogue out of
_Faust_ I'd love it as much as his other feature length ones. :-)

I got a kick out of his one with the soccer players. _Conspirators_
and _Alice_ have shorter works appended to them that I don't think
I've seen, but I have the DVD's on the way from Amazon as I type.
<grin>

> and anything by the Quay brothers.

I've seen their video, something like "collected works" (including
"Cabinet of [you guessed it!] Jan Svankmajer"). And their full-length
feature _Institute Benjamenta_. Didn't quite care for the latter (I
just got bored and it was hard to follow once the mind wandered), but
I'll give it another try one of these days.

But Svankmajer is awesome. The best bizarre-movie-making I've seen,
along with DL's stuff.

Yup that's the one.

I have a video with This Unnameable Little Broom, The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer
and Street of Crocodiles. All absolute masterpieces of animation.
