The first time I saw the work of the Brothers Quay was in Greenwich Village in 1990; I fell into hysterics with CAT, we couldn't control ourselves. Eventually, we were thrown out but it was a special experience.
The films of the Brothers Quay are unique mixed media animations inspired by the work of Jan Svankmajer and have a tone similar to David Lynch's early works like The Grandmother and Eraserhead. You can see the full set of shorts included in this collection HERE.See the trailer HERE and see a rare interview with the brothers below which sends me into fits of uncontrollable laughter; no disrepect intended. They bring a joy to me that's probably unique
