Poslední trik pana Schwarcewalldea a pana Edgara

Václav Borovicka, Frantisek Husák, Jirí Hálek, Ludek Kopriva, and Míla Myslíková in The Garden (1968)

Jan Svankmajer

A small, animated figure learns how to use a whip, a pair of wings and a house.

Et Cetera

and on and on

In one of Jan Svankmajer&apos;s many quirky short films, several things continue happening. A human whips a dog, and slowly turns into a dog while the dog turns human; a man has all sorts of trouble drawing a house; and an animated figure has a weird experience with some wings. I can&apos;t figure out what would be the point of all these images, but it all just goes to show that Svankmajer had a really cool imagination. Most of us in the Western Bloc probably would never have envisioned something like this coming from the Eastern Bloc, but it did, and it&apos;s all really something. So definitely &quot;Czech&quot; it out.

I said that I can&apos;t figure out the point. Maybe we shouldn&apos;t try to figure those sorts of things out. We should just watch and get enthralled.
