- Summary:
- The money-obsessed citizens, carved out of wood blocks and speaking in an onomatopoeic babble, are like George Grosz caricatures, literally spouting coins from their mouths instead of words. The rats are far more organic and sympathetic, made of real fur and whiskers, constantly tunneling and burrowing under the towering arches and cobblestone streets above. (In one of the film₂s many surreal moments, a rat emerges from a gargoyle₂s gaping maw.) Fans of fellow Czech animation legend Jan ⁽vankmajer and the Brothers Quay will adore Barta's eerie, Expressionist gem, recently restored for its first-ever U.S. Blu-ray release through Krt̀ký Film Praha, Deaf Crocodile and Comeback Company. Includes subtitled intertiles.
