Plot
The Quays' interest in esoteric illusions finds its perfect realization in this fascinating animated lecture on the art of anamorphosis.
Sinekatalog’s take
An elegant animated lecture on distorted images, full of strange mechanical and visual wonders. Its dark, antiquarian atmosphere is rich and puzzling. A perfect small treat for fans of eccentric, illusion-minded animation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
