I don't know what it is, but there's something about the Quay Brothers' films that give me a placid, calm feeling, regardless of the context of the film--unlike Jan Svankmajer's films, which usually leave me feeling uneasy...it reminds me of the comparison Joseph Cornell made between himself and Max Ernst, where he described Ernst's art as "black magic" and his own as "white magic"...I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, this just goes through my mind as I watch Quay Bros. films.
@AliceMoving haha it's all good. i have a dvd set of the quay brothers and this one is by far my favorite. however some of the other videos def make me feel uneasy and anxious. it's odd but i like it when videos/movies/etc. actually make me feel something real.
@demonia666chick Sorry for the delayed reply...I definitely agree with you. I love fantasy, horror, & surrealistic films, because they take me to new places emotionally. To be disturbed is to be moved.
ok il try to put a meaning to this,,, i dunno why but there is a lot of sexual movements and actions in this film and the little girl and the bunny i think resemble innocence... maybe its the death of innocence and the becoming of a little girl into a full grown woman, or it could also be about rape and how innocence is fragile enough to be torn apart like paper
Wonderful imagery+song..I love your style,dark+gothic,,,,thats exactly what I love.Not too into cutsey images of toys+childhood..Lewis Carroll lets face it was very darl on his Laudanum dreams..well done,thanks Pixie xx :))k
@MissPandora1967 you should check out Jan Svankmajer's Alice, based on your comment I think you'd like it. The Quay brothers were heavily inspired by him.
@DickensianDreams Then I have no taste either. It's not like there isn't effort put into it, but I can't regard it as a masterpiece because I can't understand a single second of it. I can't understand what is going on, or why it was ever produced. I should kicked off my course, then, because I fail to live up to your personal stands of taste.
It's like a Cornell box come to life.

I watched this in their collection of films and I just fell inlove with the darkness of it, and how it all seems so alive!

You were the only one with taste, then. I fail to see how any student of visual arts could fail to be impressed by this masterpiece.
