This is a non-narrative film from the Czech Republic. Which is normally code for DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER WILL ROBINSON! But this was very enjoyable.
Firstly, it's not really non-narrative. Shark in the Head concerns the inner life of Mr. Seman, an elderly schizophrenic as well as his relationships with the people of the neighbourhood. Maria Prochazkova uses cut-ups, stop-motion animation, traditional animation and other special effects to illustrate Seman's delusions.
This movie feels like a really well constructed bitter-sweet short story.
