Street of Crocodiles

Kenneth Gentry

Brilliant: direction, production, visual and sound design, animation, cinematography, and editing. After nearly 20 years it's still a wonder to behold, and thankfully, no CGI!

My first introduction to the Quay Brothers, it opened up a whole new perspective on what animation could be, mesmerizing.

It's staggering even trying to contemplate the amount of effort that went into making this. It's so incredibly detailed and inventive. I think it might be a little too long. More is not necessarily better.

Samuel T.

I feel like Schulz's masterpiece is merely a hymn of a starting point for this. Doesn't matter. Both are surreal wells of hidden desires and madness, personifications in tow, spawned by a ripped and, here, literally a re-sewn historical derivation. I see these guys payed homage to Svankmajer; technically, this is next-level. Insanely beautiful. I will dream of that tailor for a long time. I secretly want that tailor.

A masterful example of stop motion animation as strange and mystifying now as it was in the eighties. The plot may be a cypher but its' Kafkaesque nightmare is universal.

Stefan Drees

An astonishing short film with a lot of fanciful visual ideas and a very good music/sound montage. It's worth watching more than once to get all the beautifully crafted details.

First Brothers Quay short to really strike a chord with me. Its influence can be seen in everything from NIN's 'Closer' video to modern day torture porn.

We see a cinema that highly uses its material as the point-of-fact, the center piece for its politics: the mutable relationship between modernity of our lives and the alienation we feel about the changes in our times. So high the level of engagement it has flown away.
