Lesson Švankmajer
Kim, Eun Sue ; Ulver, Stanislav (advisor) ; Kubíček, Jiří (referee)
Jan Svankmajer has been repeatedly derived images of people who repress freedom of individuals and the oppressed people from several literary works and writings in his films.
In this regard, 'Lunacy' is one of the representative works.
This paper analyzes his perspective on freedom focusing on his film 'Lunacy' which crammed with motifs and symbols of freedom and repression, insanity and punishment.
Perhaps people of our current era may find something in common with the oppressed characters in the old novels.
It is a search for the answer of the abstract question, 'What is freedom?' borrowing and sharing an individual, Jan Svankmajer's vision.
