🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Borowczyk constructs the film as a series of visual puns, relying on collage techniques and the animation of static engravings. His approach explores the boundary between textbook knowledge and dream logic, transforming the didactic into the poetic absurd.

What lingers after viewing is the sensation of having peeked into a wonderfully strange cabinet of curiosities, where childhood wonder is filtered through an avant-garde lens. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Walerian Borowczyk

With a curious mind, late at night, as a poetic interlude.
