"Since the late 1970s, the identical twin Quay Brothers have made a unique contribution to animation in general and the puppet film in particular. Filtering arcane visual, literary, musical, cinematic and philosophical influences through their own utterly distinctive sensibility, each Quay film rivets the attention through hypnotic control of decor, music, and movement, evoking half-remembered dreams and long-suppressed childhood memories. This set contains thirteen of their classic short films, plus a collection of "footnotes" including interviews, idents, alternative versions, unrealised pilot projects and more" -- Container.
