Fimfarum Jana Wericha
"But what is fimfarum?"
"That's the point, your worship. Fimfarum isn't anything!"
A little bit of stop animation love from the Czechs that doesn't involve Jan Svankmajer. This fairytale compilation of five stories is brought to life with a mischievous, whimsical sense. There are definitely elements of horror, and though they are based on old Czech fairy tales, most who are fans of the genre (fairy tales, that is) will recognize the stories, at least vaguely.
If you are a fan of stop animation at all, I don't see how you could not enjoy this movie. It's visually stunning and easily captivates its viewers with its charm. Once again, no R1 release is to be had, and once again, I find myself directing you to youtube to enjoy this little gem of foreign cinema.
