Once upon a time I saw this movie, dark and much more real than one would imagine any movie with puppets could be. It was like a dream or a vision; very well-conceived and well-executed. I love the twists and turns this movie took. I was enthralled by the characters, music, and beautiful production design.
This movie haunts me still, but I no longer have it on tape and I cannot find it anywhere. If anyone has a copy, please email me!
