Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor & Other Fantastic Films

"Exhibiting a style which stands noticeably apart from that of most Japanese anime, the shorts of Koji Yamamura claim influences as disparate as Monty Python, Franz Kafka and Paul Klee, thus retaining a delightful inimitability. Born in Japan in 1964, Yamamura started illustrating at age 12 and never stopped; his technique involves combining mixed media (such as clay, painting and photography) with traditional drawings. This box set presents, in a single collection, fifteen of Yamamura's most beloved works, including: Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor, Your Choice!, The Old Crocodile, Pieces, Mt. Head, Bavel's Book, Perspektivenbox and Aquatic. The selected works were crated between 1987 and 2007."
