Hm .... you know, say what you will, but the guy on the right has a point.

[PatrickBellFilm]

Is this basically just about sex?

Sex and death.

[Arainion]

this is absolutely great, Švankmajer is a genius

[heybulldog98]

the do clay people ( old dudes ) are creepy as fuck!!!! but still their faces at the end are funny

[Earline23]

Thank you for posting this.

[ConceptJunkYard]

incredible

[zippypatr]

I'm scared.

[JTeamjesters]

I would really like to know how they did the clay-mation :D That looks seriously intricate and I assume must have taken a very very long time to construct, destroy, and reconstruct again

[Fishercherrlynn]

The beginning piece says it ALL about male and female relations

[frashamossimo]

this is how I feel right now

[darkshiv]

Anyone else think this is creepy as fuck?

[eschercheshire]

@darkshiv I do... put it's also awesome and true as fuck.

[Imran500]

This is going to give me nightmares....but at the same time it was awesome.

[Pageboy72]

Wow bread+shoelace actually kinda worked!

[rodachina]

es impresionante 

[Hex112]

[enjolrasabc]

"Passionate discourse"

[QueenAnime99]

This is seriously beautiful. :D

[Zizumia1]

woah! clay sex is weired

[Marimorgul]

O.o

[hahacomics123]

[PKarklouse]

Clay Pron XD

[asteriahero3]

Does anyone know what that lump of clay is? I have a few ideas, but i'm not totally sure...

[iamedgargraham]

I feel like someone just gave me an LSD enema.

[aurelovett]

Excelso!!!! 

[AnTr3Y]

so true

[Clivepom]

So wonderful..

[exmoory]

thats awesome!

[StereoJoker]

And this, my friends, is how you make meaningful, quality animation without your precious computer software.

[maxichic]

that was crazy.

[mittROMNEY666]

is it just me or is this reminiscent of f x messerschmidt

[HarukaChannel]

I love this videoO!

[AkamuSlayer]

Does nobody else get sick of the CONSTANT implied sex?

WE GET IT! Sexual innuendo stopped being wonderfull and magical the 105th time it was shoved down our throats.

[fuliguline]

At around 3:00, that's the same table with a drawer as in Alice!!!

[ThePsychotropicFox]

@fuliguline probably because it's the same director.

[dantefontana66]

this is my favourite daily life. D.F.

[crisblack666]

Awesome animation,

full of critiques

[tmbuscemi]

When looking at something like this you have to consider when it was made and where. Svankmajer created this, and many other animations, during the communist rule in Czechoslovakia to comment on the political unrest while trying to stay under the radar by not blatantly coming out and saying his opinions. The technique and subject matter are very deliberate and while it may mean nothing to someone today, it was very clear what this means when this was made. Not all art is good, but this is.

[ijustatecandlewax]

we need the people who are happy with the dull jobs and sitting down the pub just as much as we need the revolutionary thinkers of today...and on youtube, the two mix far two often, hence the argument at the bottom of the page where one person thinks that this video is for people who are in fairy land and the other thinks that this video is a bit more complex than that.

sorry i had to get that out of my system..

[ijustatecandlewax]

i personally think that this could be interpreted in many ways, it could for example just be a bit of fun created for entertainment, but i like to see it as having many underlying meanings, like the fact that the two heads needed eachother to function, and when they tried to play eachother at their own game they fucked it up big time. its also a metaphor for the people who view this video, some think oh that was good and click off it, and some sit and wonder about it and are inspired.

[robertronics]

amazing!!!

I would TOTALLY have loved it more if someone like Mauricio Kagel would have written the music hahah

incredible!

[AUrandyWall]

a new meaning to "claw your eyes out." That was cool -RW-

[madamerip]

Tanto el primero como el segundo son buenos... ambos terminan con la destruccion que se da por no complementarse con lo demas... Es el mayor problema universal.

Muy buen trabajo!

[noodle0912]

The last one :D

[ironbass366]

Yeah this was amazing... an amazing pile of shit. All this is is the expression of people that are COMPLETELY useless to society. This isnt art other than the fact he can make some damn good sculptures. other than that its fuckin shit. looks more like a bad acid trip than "expression." and i know yall are gonna say art is in the eye of the beholder or some shit along those lines, but then in all honesty you must be hellen keller because youre def, dumb, and blind, fucktards.

[pullthedaisy]

you are obviously naive, do some research you idiot.

[ironbass366]

you may think im naive, but in actuality you're the delusional one. to think something like this has any importance to the world is just proof you live in some fairy fuckin' tale world. to be interested in or take part in this means you have no other use to society and are dead weight to a world full of people that dont know their ass from a hole in the ground

[7ZSX4]

This has importance to the world. All art has importance. It's proof that humans have culture and an understanding of the world around them and in our minds, which is what surreal art is. To deny that surreal art is of no importance is to deny what you dream of and how you dream. Basically, you're saying that you have no appreciation for the things that go on in your mind and that is what makes you the true delusional one here.

[robertronics]

if you think that your comment is "useful" to society, then YOU live in a fairy tale

[7ZSX4]

You're a disgrace to the human race for not recognizing this truly great form of art. You, my friend, have no sense of art. You really are missing a complex yet easy to appreciate human sense.

[SimonFuturegista]

Unbelievable!!

[tommclean]

What the hell do you consider 'art'? E.T?

[febris1936]

I LOVE second part. It's just perfect... In my opinion it reflects the difficulty of being complementary in a dialogue and ending it succesfully. So we see that same things against same things doesn't create anything new but destroy each other, and things that arent related do that as well. Perfect dialogue will be, so, the one that creates a new thing from two different postures. Love it, awesome!

[micahsyoursister]

woo, a constructive and thoughtful youtube comment.

[drinkyourredbull]

now this is true art. fuck the masses staying under the radar is much more appreciable.

[AussieBeache]

Yes because every artist sets out to make mindless entertainment that can be enjoyed by all.... Some people don't WANT to relate to the masses. They make what they want to make, and express themselves and their ideas the way they need to. I think you are missing what animation like this is all about. Do you have any idea the kind of work that went into this? The aesthetic beauty and skill of it makes up for an inability to become pop culture by far. Fun is a matter of opinion.. I enjoy this.

[Paradox1618]

@AussieBeache

I actually see what the author is trying to tell though.

Dimensions of dialog, its self-explanatory.

I agree with you though.

[DanteWhite]

@AussieBeache those ignorant people who dont like this need to smoke some ganja and open their minds this is one of the most complex and mind blowing pieces of art i have ever seen i am a fan of stop motion and anyone who cant appreciate this art is better off dead cause they only have bubblegum pop bullshit in their head

[vvvvvalentine]

stfu

[Jezthesiren]

I really enjoyed the first section that showed the lovers, but I have to say the second piece was a little too long. It had a good message, but it ran a little too long.

[shabbawabby]

yeah, i get ya...as in there was the message of the two things brought together not working, but it was quite extended.

[solace989]

incredible
