tma/svetlo/tma by Jan Svankmajer (YouTube), a surreal claymation video from the Czech master. (NSFW if your boss will have problems with clay genitals). The Periwig-Maker, a story about a wig maker and a little girl in a plague-ridden London. In Grey Matter, a man creates a strange replica of himself, which takes on life. And just for fun, a rhino dancing flamenco.

  • All totally brilliant. I couldn't watch the Periwig-Maker to the end, cos I'm a softie and found it heart-wrenching and got all weepy. Fantastic though. And the rhino rocks.
  • hooray for Jan! Thanks Christophine, this claymation stuff is pretty slick! hah, slick, geddit? wet clay? aww nevermind...
  • That rhino is wunnerful.
  • I love Svankmajer. Alice is quite a trip. Thanks.
  • Execllent post. Cheers
  • I watched The Periwig Maker to the end. It was very sad. Also, Kenneth Branagh's voicework is excellent.
  • Just received "The Ossuary" and other shorts in my netflix incoming today. Looking forward to it.
  • Another stellar post. Thanks, Christophine. And no, the Periwig Maker didn't have me choked up at all...
