SURVIVING LIFE (2011)

JAN SVANKMAJER

Plot

Eugene leads a double life, one real, the other in his dreams. In real life he has a wife called Milada; in his dreams he has a young girlfriend called Eugenia. Sensing that these dreams have some deeper meaning, he goes to see a psychoanalyst, Dr. Holubova, who interprets them for him, with the help of some argumentative psychoanalytical griping from the animated heads of Freud and Jung. Another deliciously surrealist, madcap and comedic tale from Jan Svankmajer.
