If you loved Castle of Otranto, try Leonardo's Diary
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jan Švankmajer, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Castle of Otranto, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Leonardo's Diary is
Fantasia meets documentary. Animated drawings inspired by Leonardo da Vinci intersect with live-action scenes. Carries surreal charm of 1970s experimentation.
