- Summary:
- The Quay Brothers are among the most acclaimed and beloved animator-filmmakers in the world, influencing visionary directors like Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Julie Taymor and Tarsem. Their first feature, Institute Benjamenta, presented here in a gorgeous new director-approved transfer, is an exquisitely realized anti-fairytale as unique and astonishing as their celebrated animations. Jakob (Mark Rylance) enrolls at the titular Institute -- a dilapidated, moribund boarding school for the training of servants -- and becomes embroiled in the strangely hypnotic world of the enigmatic siblings at its helm.
