If you're snowed in, twiddling your thumbs (you shouldn't be!), here's some further unheimlich for you in the form of Jan Svankmajer's Down to the Cellar (1983). Enjoy!?

ReplyDeleteye Ethan !
ReplyDeletebut I guess you have to give the credit to Tutor Phil he is the one who posted the animation
@ Ethan & Ruben - great minds thinking alike!
ReplyDelete@ Domantas - yes, exactly - it captures the childhood feeling precisely; when Freud argues in his essay that the 'un' in 'unheimlich' signifies repression, he's talking about how things that strike as (un)canny are really only returning us to long buried fears, which are actually familiar to us (because they were once a vital part of our experience until we repressed them). I think this film captures also that moment when our own homes become our enemies - when we're scared of the gap under the bed, or of the contents of our own wardrobe, or the attic etc.
