Fimfárum 2

The question "Why is sea salty, Uncle?" forms the strongest pillar of this sincere effort to continue the Fimfarum project. Unfortunately, with each new film in the series the puzzle falls apart more and more, and today I can say that two films would have been more than enough. (10/19/2011)

Every film in Fimfárum series receives 50% just for featuring the words of Jan Werich in their original form, as the legendary actor himself voiced them. Werich's voice and his delivery are so unique that they are a significant part of what makes these films truly great pieces. But it’s also the animation that adds its charm. As I mentioned with the first film, it’s the animation that beautifully complements the atmosphere. This isn't the case in every instance, but with someone like Aurel Klimt, you can be sure that he adds a lot of his own touch to the work and adjusts the atmosphere exactly as he desires. In this case, his story The Hunchbacks of Damascus is presented in a horror-like manner, which again is not a drawback. Even Werich's fairy tale is not gentle. Fimfárum 2 does not provide the same experience as the first one, but it remains a significantly above-average movie that captivates viewers who are open to less conventional films, both in live-action and animated forms.
