Revue de Presse:
Those who have been long-term admirers of Svankmajer's films will welcome this masterfully orchestrated volume... It is extremely well informed, sensistive to the nuances and complexities of Svankmajer's individual film works, clearly and eloquently written, and critically provocative without being in the least dogmatic. Daniel J. Goulding, Historical Journal of Film, Television and Radio
A real achievement... could be a turning point in the developing area of animation studies, as well as an important contribution to film history. Jayne Pilling, Times Literary Supplement
A must for anyone interested in the serious treatment of animated film. Animations
