Our series on the Brothers Quay ends on one of their most abstract films. Combining live-action and animation, it plays a shifting dance of light across the vivid, black and white, CinemaScope landscape of the mind: sinister, stark, fraught, haunting, and beautiful. In an exclusive new HD scan.
Structured as a strange, whimsical lesson on the nature of illusion, our next short is the Brothers Quay at their most mischievous. An exploration of the hidden wonders of art, Anamorphosis is a wonder of its own, where the visual field is rich with detail and endlessly elastic. Newly restored.
Our Brothers Quay series continues with a most hypnotic odyssey. A labyrinthine dreamscape bursting with detail and wonder, The Comb is a work of meticulously handcrafted cinema that both borrows from our world and seems projected directly from another dimension. In an exclusive new HD scan.
This week, we present a quartet of films by two masters of their medium: The Brothers Quay, whose visionary, avant-garde stop-motion has dazzled critics, filmmakers, and audiences for decades. This gem, in an exclusive new restoration, is an unforgettable dream and prime example of their art.
