| User ReviewDaniel DAnother Svankmajer short film and another impressive one. This was the creation of a human that started with one arm. It was clear where the film was going but still kept you intrigued on what body part is coming next. How will the other bod parts deal with it. And how can Svankmajer make something that's kinda disgusting look so beautiful. I enjoyed it and like most of his shorts it's free on YouTube so there's no reason to ignore it. |
