A man closes up a lecture hall; he reaches into a box and snips the string holding a gaunt puppet. Released, the puppet warily explores the darkened rooms about him. Screws twist out of objects and move about. A boy doll catches light with a mirror, shining it around: he spotlights the gaunt explorer... The dark interior world of novelist Bruno Schulz is brought to dark and delicate life by the Brothers Quay, resulting in a moody, gorgeous, and intricate film. Terry Gilliam selected Street of Crocodiles as one of the top ten best animated films of all time.
