Synopsis for the Feature Length Animated Film Prezít Svuj Zivot (Teorie A Praxe) (Surviving Life), Watch Video

"This film is going to be a comedy that nobody is going to laugh at," announces Jan Svankmajer's latest feature, in which the master animator embarks on an eye-popping new cut-out-and-collage direction (mixed with live action) and crafts one of his most entertaining and accessible films yet. Svankmajer's psychoanalytical yarn concerns middle-aged, married Evzen, who enters therapy in order to deal with an obsession: he's fallen heavily for a beautiful young woman he keeps encountering in his dreams. In a twist, Evzen isn't seeking help to rid himself of these dreams; rather, he wants to ensure that he keeps having them!
