You've heard an incapacitated person described as a vegetable? Well, what if the person in question was made of vegetables? That's the case in Jan vankmajer's "Flora". Less than a minute long, it shows a person whose body literally consists of plant-based food, all rotting away. He's becoming a double vegetable! Maybe it's about what eventually happens to us all, or maybe it's just vankmajer's regular surreal cartoon. Whatever the case, it's a neat one. I've liked every vankmajer cartoon that I've seen, and this is no exception. Cartoons do not have to be cute stuff for children at all. One can easily see how his work influenced Terry Gilliam. Czech it out indeed.
