Dimensions of Dialogue
A film by Jan Švankmajer
Three dialogues: heads built from food and tools in the manner of Arcimboldo chew each other into identical paste, two clay lovers melt together and then fight, and two clay heads push out mismatched objects from their tongues. It won the Golden Bear for best short film at Berlin in 1983.
