If you loved Faust, try Surviving Life (Theory and Practice)

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 sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Faust, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Surviving Life (Theory and Practice) is

Eugene leads a double life, one in reality and one in dreams. His dreams are analyzed by a psychoanalyst. This film somehow makes that premise work.
