  Creativity truly has no limits! Jan Švankmajer, the master of stop-motion animation, strikes again with another outstanding short. Food is composed by three sections and they are all quite entertaining, funny and even shockingly disturbing at times. It’s admirable that behind the surreal imagery, there are absorbing themes being analyzed. The repetitive acts can get a tad exhausting but the surprising and ingenious final segment certainly makes for a mesmerizing journey.

  biting metaphors, technique and organism intertwined in sweetest subversion and cockiness. Svankmajer at his best.

  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★★½

  Stop whatever you are doing and watch this 16-minute short film (on YouTube). It's seriously one of the most AH-MAZING things I have seen in a while. 🍽️

  watched this with my roommates bc our directing professor is an actor in it, and the screening quickly went from "wow our prof looked like such an art boy in 1992" to "oh god what if we see his dick"

  fun for the whole family!

  Review by evilbjork ★★★★

  One of Jan Švankmajer's greatest technical and aesthetic achievements. I seriously can't believe how good the transitions from real people to claymation people look each time it happens. The way objects are cut and eaten look fantastic too. All of Švankmajer's films are unique and impressive, but this one hits the nail on the head.

  yeah. this is the weird shit i like to see! the use of stop-motion/claymation here is so clever to show people as cogs in a grotesque machinery of the consumption of appetites, food, power, or each other: devouring and being devoured in a looped exchange. they are no longer distinguishable from what or who they consume. hunger has erased individuality. so gross and fascinating.
