Take a Lick... I mean Look... at the Trailer for Jan Svankmajer's SURVIVING LIFE

I'm gonna go on record here and say that there are two legendary animated filmmakers alive and well, and working today. One of them is Hayao Miyazaki. And the other is master of the surreal, purveyor of cut-out and claymation, Jan Svankmajer. His latest Surviving Life (aka Theory and Practice) will be premiering at the 58th London Film Festival in October. Here's a bit of plot from LFF's website, and below, the trailer!

Eugene (Václav Helsus) leads a double life - married to Milada, he also dreams of the beautiful Evgenia (Klára Issová). Seeking to perpetuate his dream life, he goes to see a psychoanalyst, who attempts to provide an ongoing interpretation of his experiences. On the wall are portraits of Freud and Jung, which become animated, alternately applauding, disapproving or fighting over her interpretations.
