A sexy little film.

This is one of my most favourite films ever by one of my most favourite film makers ever, Jan Svankmajer with a little squiggle over the S.

It's sweet, sensual, comic, tragic and wonderfully unique. I find it quite sexy (sad ending though) but those with certain dietary choices might find it offensive. Enjoy:

  1. That ending would have made me very happy, I love steak.

  3. There's something slightly disturbing about that, can't put my finger on quite what though. Tasty ending.

    I'm probably being too analytical here but I'd like to know how they got the steak to stay in position for the shots, you'd think it would just fall over.

  4. Ou jee! This really takes me back. To the times I was working at slotteryhouse. Took couple of rolls of pics while they did their work (I was cleaning up the mess). Juicy stuff they was, pics ended up at the walls of an artmuseum.

    Thanks 4 a trip to memorylane! :)

  5. Actually, the title of that is "Meat In Love" - very funny. And no, not for vegetarians - me, I love a good steak.

  6. Mmm - kinda cute in a very disturbing way. And I hate tragic endings, especially involving hot oil! (Reference to the first episode of a BBC series called Spooks - nasty)

  7. Even when I was a vegetarian, I loved this little flic!

    But yeah... sad ending (would have been better bbq'd) but at least they died together... awww.
