If you like FZ music then i dont need to write a review, you will surely know this video is a must.But for the ones who dont know anything about a great composer and the amazing Mr. Bickford:
Surreal, nightmare clay animation.You'll probably never seen something like this before.Cant compare it with jan svankmajer or the quays, this film is even more surreal.Filled with extraordinary transformations bickford's clay puppets just seem to flow all over the movie.
Why not buy this video:
You hate any kind of animation
Just want to look at a sitcom and eat popcorn
Dont like "wierd stuff"
If you dont fit on those descriptions then -----> BUY THIS VIDEO! :D

A most amazing approach to clay animation.......very very detailed....a wild ride of constant transformations from amorphous shapes to sharp focused scenes and conflicts....be forwarned that the imagery is compelling, but deeply disturbing. The soundtrack, all Zappa, is from the atonal, dissonant orchestral perspective....definitely recommended for fellow artists and musicians.

I saw this film once 20 years ago, and I was and still am amazed at the clay mation that's in it. It's a must-see!
