A fantastically bizarre live-action and claymation film in three parts - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Jídlo reminds me of Terri Timely's "Synaesthesia" though it is more of a political allegory than a re-imagining of a condition/concept. Švankmajer has a food fixation it seems, as he has presented in many other works (and most likely in some I have not seen yet): "Picnic with Weissmann" - 1968, "Flora" - 1989, "Meat Love" - 1989, and "Little Otik (Otesánek)" - 2000.
So, now that I have posted half of Švankmajer's filmography, go out and buy something.
