“Absolutely entrancing!!!” Guy Maddin closed his "Film Comment" review of the Quay Brothers’s second feature with a tripled exclamation—a testament to the rare and painstaking artistry they bring to their signature blend of stop-motion and live action. This eerie and effulgently macabre tale begins with the on-stage abduction of an opera singer (Amira Casar) by Dr. Droz (Fassbinder regular Gottfried John), who spirits her away to the dank island over which he presides.
