The Quay Brothers: Collected Short Films Part 1
Directed by Quay Brothers
Since the late 1970s, identical twins Stephen and Timothy Quay have been creating their unique blend of dazzling, nightmarish puppetry and stop-motion animation, and have, in the process, spawned an enormous cult following. They are masters of miniaturization and on their tiny sets have created an unforgettable world, suggestive of a landscape of long-repressed childhood dreams. Part I of their Collected Short Films includes IN ABSENTIA, REHEARSALS FOR EXTINCT ANATOMIES, STREET OF CROCODILES and THE COMB (FROM THE MUSEUMS OF SLEEP).

🤦🏼:male_sign: ?!?
After seeing a lot of these guys stuff on public television & MTV back in the day, i finally bought this collection at the Dali museum quite a few years back. I remember thinking that they were responsible for the Tool Sober video, learning later that the guitarist did the video (was mad at first, then learned he worked for Stan Winston). I highly recommend this. Dark and creepy but strangely heartwarming.
Eerie and esoteric, the way to watch this is to let go of preconceptions about narrative structure and standard storytelling. It’s visually stunning and the atmosphere is nightmarish and dread invoking. Not really horror, but more of a mood board of cast ideas.
reminds me of a few things...anything tim burtin, some tool music videos, the video featured in the ring movies and doctor suese with a dark twist...didnt really understand alot of it but really cool to watch anyways.
