Little Otik (Aka Otesánek)
From Jan Svankmajer

IMDB

Quote :: When a childless couple learn that they cannot have children, it causes great distress. To ease his wife's pain, the man finds a piece of root in the backyard and chops it and varnishes it into the shape of a child. However the woman takes the root as her baby and starts to pretend that it is real...

Nice

as always with Jan Svankmajer. His best movie imo, after Conspirators of Pleasure. A dark satirical fairy tale with a clear metaphore of the obsessions with food (Jan Svankmajer seems to be really obsessed with food Laughing

). The dialogues are brilliant and hilarious yess

and it is overall very well done
