Jun 22, 2007 - im a bit confused. who were those people? why did alice krige seem so terrified? what did the circle mean? this was beatifully done all around, but i must confess i can't make sense of it. is it metaphorical? any help would be appreicated, thanks:)

Ultrasecond Says:

Sep 7, 2007 - Yes, it's very heavily steeped in metaphor, but not all of it is supposed to mean something - a lot of it is about the feeling behind it.

Ultrasecond Says:

Sep 7, 2007 - "Better than matrix" - lol, what a lame comparison. The matrix is just a decent entertaining hollywood action film outclassed by countless other better hollywood action films. Comparing that to this is like comparing a McDonalds Cheeseburger to some rare filet mignon from a world-class chef.

NikolaNPavlovic Says:

Sep 15, 2007 - You are right yes, but, i was refering to some top lists of best movies ever, that were made by "smart people" (the top lists), and you can see matrix in those lists, and other shitty craft-movies. This is art for me. Long live brothers quay!

Oct 7, 2007 - You're right, she was Christabella in Silent Hill - her name is Alice Krige. She also played the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact.

Jan 14, 2008 - I used to watch this exact scene, over and over and over, on DVD, so it's cool that someone posted this. It's a great film, too (one of the most beautiful visually that you'll probably ever see).

Carlo81 Says:

Jan 14, 2008 - I'm also a huge fan of the book it's based on "Jakob Von Gutten" -so I was a bit disappointed that the Brothers Quay sucked all of the humor out of the novel (the novel is actually very comedic). The film translates the obesseive, fetishized, bizarreness of the novel, but all the humor is completely lost. I still love the film, though. It stands on it's own apart from the novel.

Jan 16, 2008 - ooo which song? something off lateralus?

Feb 2, 2008 - She is stunning!

Aspenly Says:

Feb 21, 2008 - Your an idiot, toolkyuss. The idea that something as awful as Tool would be in this film is laughable.

toolkyuss Says:

Feb 21, 2008 - Why am I an idiot for liking Tool? As far as I'm concerned Tool trumps anything the Bros. Quay have done. Have you seen Morgasmo, with the movie set to Tool. It's perfect. Dont be so narrow-minded, and such an ass.

Apr 8, 2008 - Pere Ubu is presenting Ubu Roi at Southbank Centre on the 24 & 25th of April.The performance features the sop-motion animation, projections and stage design by The Brothers Quay! A great opportunity to see their talent on a stage.

Jan 6, 2009 - Just seen this film as I liked all of their short films. This was great, I didn't have a clue what any of it meant but that didn't really matter. This was my favourite scene.
