For anyone not familiar with Svankmajer and his tremendously influential surrealist stop-motion films, a good place to start might be his 1992 short "Breakfast":



Or his 1973 "Jabberwocky":



Those of you who are familiar with him know that his work has influenced everything from Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video (though that was actually filmed by Aardman Studios) to the opening of the anime Honey & Clover (a direct descendant of his 1989 short "Meat Love").

So, is anyone else out there a fan of this unique filmmaker?
