Insects (Hmyz)

A group of novice actors rehearses the play "From the Life of Insects," gradually transforming into its characters.

The latest film by the great Czech surrealist Svankmajer, a free fantasy on the themes of his predecessors and spiritual teachers - Karel Capek and Franz Kafka. A reflection on the futility of existence, on the similarity between humans and insects, on how comical all our tragedies appear from the outside. Imperfect, but powerful and unlike anything else (including the classic's previous films) cinema.
