Is this where Joe Massot stole the idea for his 1968 film "Wonderwall" that George Harrison did the soundtrack for?

Brothers Quay got a lot of their influences from Jan

i always thought that this film somehow transcended all of his other films, the animation segments are different - utilizing rapid fades/dissolves/superimpositio­ns that are unearthly beautiful to me. However the flashing frames in the sepia scenes make me dizzy, so it's a flawed masterpiece to me.

probably it´s just svankmajer´s -> interpretation of Massot´s movie 'wonderwall' ...
