A Game with Stones

Jan Svankmajer brings you...MOVING ROCKS. and it's exactly as entertaining as it sounds.

White and black stones.

Gets more interesting as it goes along, I guess

possibly innovative for its time, however it is boring and so hasn't aged well. passed the time imagining that it was all about sex, however i don't think that message was meant to be there at all. i think it was primarily about rocks and the things rocks don't do such as dance.

It's like a children's television programme from the Soviet Union, only better.

medeniyet? çağlar? varoluş? özgürlük?

Stunning, hypnotizing.

The clockwork and frame story worked fine, but the moving stones lacked Jan's surreal innovation. Shame.

An amazingly imaginative early work by the guy who would become a stop-motion animation legend.
