The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia

The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia is a 1990 animated independent short film. The style of the film is surrealist, and the director Jan vankmajer has been described by The New York Times as being One of cinemas most visionary surrealists.

Stalins bust is opened on an operating table, and this leads into an animated sequence which depicts Czech history from 1948, when it was taken over by Communists, to 1989, when the Velvet Revolution took place. Background knowledge of the historical context is required for one to fully understand and appreciate the entirely visual film.Janet Maslin of The New York Times describes the film as being a wonderfully apt short, and describes the plot of rushing a statue of Stalin through drastic surgery, cranks out clay workers on an assembly line only to grind them back into clay is droll, breakneck satire. ........
