I'm Beginning to Like Segundo de Chomón Almost as Much as Georges Melies

About Me
- Name: Ladrón de Basura (a.k.a. Junk Thief)
- Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Lovely, I think I need to link. Svankmajer must have seen this before - well, maybe before everything he did, certainly before Conspirators of Desire.
Susan - Yes, it's easy to see the influences on Svankmajer. Segundo de Chomón is not as well known as Melies but almost as influential and even more deliciously surreal.
