I watched this film last night. Has anyone seen it? Has anyone got any idea what it was about and if they have would they care to tell me? Cheers.

I saw it years ago, and recall being disappointed...I expected a full-length explosion of Brothers Quay frou-frou and filagree, but wound up being bored...maybe I should watch it again, with different expectations...can't help you better understand it, though...I've forgotten the bulk of it...

are those guys still making visual art?

"but it's Quay Brothers , right ?"
Yep.
"Haven't seen it, but it's almost certainly adapted from the Robert Walser novel Jakob Von Gunten."
I think that's right yes - I saw a brief synopsis of the story on the internet somewhere before I watched the film but I didn't read the whole thing because I didn't want to spoil it for myself. Shouldn't have worried really.

i think it's a fantastic film. i stupidly lent my video copy out to someone i never saw again and i miss it. i think it's amazingly beautiful and mysterious.


they have just released a second feature "the piano tuner of earthquakes"
