As if it's brief running time or its oddly unique visual design weren't
enough for this version of THE PIED PIPER not to be seen widely (especially
by children - the nominal audience for "fairy tales"), KRYSAR has some
ghoulishly Brothers Grimm imagery to boot. Too bad. This is an excellent
extended short subject directed by JirI Barta who's style may remind one of
Jan Svankmajer or the Brothers Quay, without appearing derivative at
all.
KRYSAR follows the Pied Piper legend fairly faithfully - though with some
notable Grand Guignol twists and horrific visions - until its final,
unexpected, last act which I won't spoil. It's this final "topper" which
separates this version from the pack - In addition to its
visuals.
The Visuals! Amazing and detailed wood-cut puppets that have a fluidity of
motion that, at times, can be mesmerizing. The only flaw in the Visuals, is
the use of paint accrection landscape paintings. Not that the "moving,
flowing" artwork isn't well-rendered, they just don't mesh with the
stop-motion animation - or the live rats! Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
