If you loved Conspirators of Pleasure, try Il piccolo Otik
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Jan Švankmajer, and they both carry the pitch black, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Conspirators of Pleasure, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il piccolo Otik is
Spring mud cracks under a warped wooden door. A man carves a root into a grinning infant form; his wife hums lullabies to it, milk dribbling from a bottle onto the floorboards. Czech surrealism feeds on household rot.
