Inner Sanctums - Quay Brothers: The Collected Animated Films 1979 - 2013 (Blu-ray) Films by The Quay Brothers Since the late 1970s, the identical twin Quay Brothers have made a unique contribution to animation in general and the puppet film in particular. Filtering arcane visual, literary, musical, cinematic and philosophical influences through their own utterly distinctive sensibility, each Quay film rivets the attention through hypnotic control of dcor, camera, lighting, music and movement, evoking half-remembered dreams, fascinating and yet deeply unsettling in turn. This comprehensive two-disc set provides an overview of the Quays' career, containing twenty-four of their short films - three UK premieres and five world premieres - and also includes Christopher Nolan's new short documentary, Quay (2015), revealing the inner workings of the brothers studio.
