Lunacy

2005

Comedy

Horror

1h 58m

The latest provocation from surrealist master Jan Svankmajer is based on two short stories by Edgar Allan Poe and inspired by the works of the Marquis de Sade. Lunacy combines live action and stop-motion, sex and violence, grand guignol terror and gallows humor, and a lot of animated meat. (Zeitgeist Films)

Svankmajer is back with a great new movie that pays respect to Marquis De Sade and Edgar Allan Poe. In a way calling it his Saló is not far from the truth.

Would've liked it a lot better without the animal abuse and the unnecessary stop-motion scenes of meat moving around.

DE nuevo utilizando los elementos de los libros, crea una atmosfera que al leerlos puede aparecer tambien, no crea algo tan general ni tan especifico para que todos y solo el lo entiende, se deben de buscar elemeentos y ligarlos para entender lo que plantea este director

"Lunacy is Svankmajer's most political work--or, rather, the one that most explicitly announces its political ambitions." - Ed Gonzalez
