Plot Summary:An enigmatic story told in seven chapters, each introduced by an elliptical sentence on a title card. A man is in an apartment. He goes outside where a red tram runs beside a cathedral. He can see religious art. In his apartment and workshop, his nearly colorless life does include a cloth of rich, red brocade. He works amid constructs of straight lines, planks, wires, and scaffolding. He falls from a chair in his flat. He's not dead.
Some of it is dream, some is reality - which is which is hard to determine. Very good music from apparently either late 19th or early 20th century. This stop-motion animation isn't bad, by any means. I just think it's not as good as their later works.

原本想夸会用光，看完发觉说会用影子更恰当
影子的运用，然后火车的部分处理的不错，运动的质感
继续看奎，本片为奎们的第一部作品，不如名为“人工梦境”或夜晚/梦境模拟。以超现实主义和较为几何化的画面、光影和运镜来展现一个人在梦境和现实边缘徘徊的场景，观众如同雾里看花一般感受影片中的元素并被其催眠，观看的时候我的思绪也飘忽不定。在黑夜中缓慢行驶的红色火车几乎成为了一种意象，在无边的黑暗中漫无目的地永远前进。片中的角色在房间中的椅子上睡去，窗外是行驶而过的火车，角色接着又在火车上座椅醒来，让人分不清虚实，联想到了《Ruben Brandt》中的火车和《我私人的爱达荷》中的嗜睡症。最后角色回到房间，窗外是和火车一样颜色的霓虹灯，地上则有火车的轨道。奎们从第一部作品就奠定了东欧的风格，管风琴的配乐好听得让人灵魂出窍，角色的造型也是一如始终的有特色、像一具灵体被抽离的躯壳
奎氏兄弟果然是营造空间的高手。虽然整部片下来镜头以横移推轨的运动为主，但导演通过反复的景别变化（中景→近景→特写→大特写）、玩偶世界的“真实”纵深，和玩偶画作的“仿真”纵深，一遍又一遍地在横向运动中，强调出不同层次的纵深空间。配上诡异的音乐，观者对于恐怖的想象力，也在横纵的对比和变化中，延展出更多的可能
教堂里行驶的红色电车，早期作品，时而抽象时而古典的风格，奇特的空间感已经出现了
奎氏兄弟作品里的人偶们个个都活像被净化过灵魂的尸体。太美了。
补标8月。
光影很美，有种舞台剧的效果，第18分钟突然睁眼给我吓一跳，配乐带劲，其他没看懂。
带有轨电车的架空东欧城市夜景。就是他俩好多早期画作里的意象。穿过大教堂那段太好看了。
一般
阴郁的风格和配乐让人印象深刻。但是太过艺术，我全程梦游不知再讲些什么。。。

奎氏兄弟第一部
光和場景，藝術風格好鮮明，他們似乎很喜歡表達工業社會對人類的妨害命題
光影和音乐简直棒呆！Quay Bros最早期的作品，阴郁，粗砺，游走于幻境与现实之间，感觉Tim Burton肯定有受他们的影响。
金属敲击声像是刺在我的心口
THOSE WHO DESIRE WITHOUT END
