Product Description

Amazon.com

For those who already know the short films of the Brothers Quay, Phantom Museums is a welcome, thorough investigation of a lifelong dedication to stop-motion animation and dream sequence narratives. For those just discovering this identical twin team of Stephen and Timothy Quay, Phantom Museums is the place to start. This two-disc set includes roughly twenty of their projects, chronologically spanning thirty years. Inspired by the old-fashioned look of early animated features such as The Adventures of Prince Achmed, as well as Jan Svankmajer and Jiri Barta's films, The Brothers Quay built their reputation on combining the quaintness and delicacy of early animation with present day macabre. As miniaturists, they painstakingly hand assembled decadent sets, such as an ancient library, a shrunken head vault at the natural history museum, and spiral staircases. Homemade dolls with missing eyes, pins, needles, and screws, protractors, and other tiny metallic things, make characters and their environs grotesquely techno, framed by carnivalesque camerawork in which the viewer experiences scenes from every possible angle. Highly anatomical, they sometimes use steaks and livers to represent doll innards. Watching these films now, one appreciates their Goth quality, especially because of the romantic, classical musical accompaniment. Their influence on the music video industry is also apparent. Each film has a unique story and production design, so that although the overall Quay aesthetic is clear, variation avoids redundancy. Phantom Museums also includes director commentary, alternate versions, and a wonderful filmed interview with the pair, in which they discuss their father forcing them to choose between either becoming gym teachers or artists. Lucky for us. --Trinie Dalton


Video Description

Two of the worlds most original filmmakers, identical twins Stephen and Timothy Quay have been creating their unique blend of puppetry and stop-motion animation for nearly 30 years and have spawned an enormous cult following. The Quays display a passion for detail, a breathtaking command of color and texture, and an uncanny use of focus and camera movement that make their films unique and instantly recognizable. Best known for their classic 1986 film STREET OF CROCODILES -- which filmmaker Terry Gilliam recently selected as one of the ten best animated films of all time -- they are masters of miniaturization and on their tiny sets have created an unforgettable world, suggestive of a landscape of long-repressed childhood dreams. This new two-disc set contains thirteen of their classic short filmssome never-before-available on DVDin brand-new, restored and remastered editions (personally supervised by the Quays), plus a collection of "footnotes" including new audio commentaries, extensive interviews, alternative versions, unrealized pilot projects and more. PHANTOM MUSEUMS: THE SHORT FILMS OF THE QUAY BROTHERS also features a 24-page, gorgeously illustrated booklet, including an extensive Quay Dictionary and a new essay by film critic Michael Atkinson.

5.0 out of 5 stars 早急な日本版を求む, 2008/6/6
ブラザーズ・クエイの愛好者としては、日本版DVDが垂涎です。
ダゲレオ出版版のVTRはもちろん持っており、パイオニアのLDも
持っていましたが、それ以降の作品も含め、彼らの作品に大いなる
関心を持っているのは少なくないはず。

4.0 out of 5 stars 好きか嫌いか真っ二つ, 2008/1/24
二枚組みです。
一枚目は作品のみ、二枚目はインタビューなどが入っています。
まず、再生できる機器が限られます。
うちの場合はパソコンでリージョンの設定を変えて見る以外は再生不可能でした。

作品は誰かの見た悪夢の断片という感じ。
チェコアニメ・・・特にシュヴァンクマイエルをよく見ている方だと「間の撮り方」に不満が出てくるのではないかと思います。
非常に退屈な作品もあります。
「シュヴァンクマイエルの部屋」は見ていて唯一解りやすかったです。

全体的に独特な雰囲気、暗いトーンで、多分見る側を真っ二つに分けるDVDかと・・・。

4.0 out of 5 stars リージョンコードをクリア出来れば迷わず買い, 2009/1/17
このDVDを視聴するに当たって最大の難関は、
リージョンコードをクリア出来るかどうかです。
リージョンコードさえ解決出来れば、迷わず『買い』です。
値段も東北新社の国内版の半分以下ですし、
日本語の解説書や字幕は必要ないという方にオススメです。
