Animated Films DAVE McKEAN

Surreal characters, experimentation with different animation techniques and, of course, a dose of Shakespeare – these elements merge in Dave McKean’s cinematography and create an enchanting whole. Seasoned with good old British darkness, we get a delicious treat that generously feeds even the art-hungry souls of Eastern Europeans.
