A busy week here (for a change) so this is a bit of a lazy choice but there is a Wunderkammer present. The Quays made this in 1984 for a Švankmajer documentary, and it’s still one of my favourites: Švankmajer as subject, lots of Prague references, and wonderful music (borrowed from Švankmajer’s own films) by Zdeněk Liška. This is also one of the few films you’ll see with animated characters demonstrating some film animation of their own. Watch it here.
