Street of Crocodiles
Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay
UNITED KINGDOM ● 1986 ● 22' ● ●
A hypnotic descent into a ruined city where mannequins, machines, and bodily fragments take on a life of their own. Inspired by the dreamlike prose of Bruno Schulz, the film constructs a decaying urban space ruled by obscure forces and repressed desires. Widely regarded as a masterpiece of the Quay Brothers, it reflects on memory, desire, and decay.
