'Obviously,we were unable to afford anything better'.

Talking recently to a DVD seller about having greatly enjoyed viewing a Cznch-New Wave title,I was happily caught by surprise,when the seller sent me a DVD of Cznch Stop-motion short films completely for free!.With this week having celebrated my 9th year of being on IMDb,I felt that the perfect way to wrap it up would be to see the Cznch stop-motion,in motion.

The plot:

Tidying up an empty hall,a man begins to play around with a half broken puppet,who ends up coming alive.Jumping straight into life,the puppet heads down to the basement of the hall,where it discovers a hidden,broken society.

View on the film:

Backed by a pitch-perfect score from Lech Jankowski which combines sharp-toothed Classical music with an Industrial hum,co-writers/ (along with Bruno Schulz) directors Stephen and Timothy Quay create a wonderful decaying world,with all of the puppets being made out of torn to shreds objects,which despite not looking that cute,do have a real character about them.For the screenplay of the movie,the writers smartly decide to deliver their view on a broken society in a subtle,visual manner,which whilst adding a dept to the events taking place in the title,also allows the viewer to enjoy the treats they discover,on their walk down crocodile street.
