This was my first Jan Svankmajer film which I bought not really knowing what to expect. I loved it but please be advised that this is not for everyone. The movie has music but no spoken words... but don't let that deter you- actions speak louder then words. There is one character in the movie whose sexually deviant actions are highlighted by dramatic opera music- which makes it hilarious. ALso be sure to check out some of the weirdest stop motion stuff I have ever seen in the extra bit included on the disc called FOOD.
