Jedné noci v jednom meste (2007)
Language: No dialogue
Subtitles: none
DIRECTOR: Jan Balej
Surrealism and black humor are sacrosanct in the Czech artistic tradition, be it literary – think Kafka and Hrabal – or cinematic, as in the works of Jan Svankmajer and Karel Zeman. Often utilizing puppetry, claymation and stop-motion technology to construct a world in which the naïve, the comic-grotesque and the sinister meld, Czech animators in particular have influenced filmmakers worldwide.
Working in the hallucinatory mode of his countrymen, Jan Balej brings us his now whimsical, now deep-dark One Night in the City. Set in and around a dimly street-lit apartment building, the animated feature strings together a series of beautifully bizarre episodes that merge phobias with -philias, fantasies with fears. A lonely old man entertains himself by building an insect circus, disregarding the fact that his miniature performers are all dead. His next-door neighbors, a fish and a tree, play cards, exchange Christmas gifts and occasionally head down to the corner bar for a drink. Two regulars uncork a genie and waste their first two wishes on pints of beer. A frustrated accordion player finds a severed ear in the gutter, stitches it to his own head and is suddenly able to paint like van Gogh.
One Night in the City – which took top prize at the Czech Republic's Anifest in 2006 – is a rare treat not only for animation buffs but for anyone who discerns the shimmer and glimmer of the dark side. --Source
