"As his long, legendary career comes to a close, Svankmajer looks back upon the current state of the film industry, a state which he feels is reflective not merely of film but of Western civilization as well. “The civilization we live in has little interest in authentic artistic creation.

Unless we again begin to tell fairytales and ghost stories before going to sleep and recount our dreams upon waking, nothing more is to be expected of our Western civilization.”"
