Fascinating & inspiring illustrated account of the creative and personal partnership of the film director, sculptor and graphic artist Jan Švankmajer, and his wife, the painter Eva Švankmajerova. To quote the back-cover blurb, 'their paintings, masturbation machines, poems, formative meetings, screenplays, tactile objects, diaries, films, pottery, games, puppets, collages, texts and dreams represent the imaginative activity of contemporary Czech surrealism.' For me, Jan's works are of show more considerably greater interest than are Eva's, but, as the book continually reminds us, neither body of work could exist without the other. show less
Когда Алиса следует за Белым Кроликом в Страну чудес, начинаются ее приключения в удивительном мире детских фантазий, она преодолевает многие опасности и спасает сказочную страну от злой Дамы Червей. Объединяя методы мультипликации и живого действия, чешский аниматор show more Ян Шванкмайер создал шедевр кино, поразительно интерпретировав первоначальную идею классического рассказа Льюиса Кэррола. Картина вышла настоящим шедевром, оправдывающим свой жанр, и идеально совмещая атмосферу ужасов, триллера, сказки и фантастики. Лучшая экранизация «Алисы» за все время существования кино, передающая всю суть содержания первоисточника. show less
