Vivus Funeratus

Inventive animation film for adults. The manful attempt by the protagonist to live out his overheated imagination and erotic passions fails. The sharp high-heels of the merciless plastic women - far from being harmless Barbie dolls - thrust the hero into a bottomless pit. He slides down helplessly into a world of suffocating, subversive isolation. He avoids complete destruction for the time being, but he can't keep it up for ever.Austrian critic Alexander Ivanceanu praised Stratil's dramatic lighting, the smooth cutting, the extreme close-ups and the 'sparkling' underwater shots, which evoke an atmosphere of alienation.
