All in all, one of Svankmajer's least enjoyable films. Unlike Gilliam's animations, however, this isn't funny.though occasionally it's pretty bloody. The rest consists of a retelling of the novel and it actually sticks pretty close to it.and it's told in a style very similar to Terry Gilliam's animations from "Monty Python's Flying Circus".with cut outs moving about through the use of stop-motion. And, periodically, the film cuts back to this 'expert' as he talks about his supposed research. The story starts with a documentary style piece where a professor claims to have found the actual Otranto castle not in Italy but in Czechoslovakia. ![]() Paperback Octoby Horace Walpole (Author) 2,046 ratings See all formats and editions Kindle 0.60 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.00 Free with your Audible trial Hardcover 12.98 1 New from 12.98 Paperback 7.50 7 New from 7.
