*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I wouldn't include this among Svankmajer's better shorts, but it does still represent his crafty ability to animate to music. Form and design seem the primary concern of a movie that goes into and out of and around and under various living organisms, often amazingly matching color to tone and shape to rhythm very well.
I don't know about the cutaways to the man eating. One thing I have noticed about Svankmajer is that he seems rather obsessed with people's mouths--it recurs in many of his films. In a way, I suppose the eating could be just general abstraction in that laughing surrealist way. Otherwise I think it might be a comment on our consumption of the natural world. Either way, I don't actually care for it very much. I like the music and the animation a lot more.
