Jan Svankmajer’s Breakfast

Here’s one of my favourite animated shorts, the delightfully unsettling Breakfast from the great surrealist Czech animator Jan Svankmajer. The piece is one third of a trilogy, also including Lunch, and the not-so-safe-for-work Dinner.

I’ve loved Svankmajer’s work since accidentally stumbling upon his creepy version of Alice in Wonderland on TV as a child. The ensuing nightmares made sure I remembered his work well into adulthood.

    There was wonderful exhibition of Svankmajer’s puppets, properties and scenes here in Plzen (Pilsen) a couple year ago. I love also his sketches and graphics. His wife Eva created brilliant paintings.
