"The Comb" is an animated short film from the Brothers Quay and this one has its 25th anniversary this year. At slightly over 17 minutes, it is a bit longer than most of their other works. But that does not make it any better. It is an epitome of style over substance as usual with them, there is no real story in here either, also as usual again, and the animation looks like something that could have done in the 60s too. Very disappointing. I may be a bit biased when it comes to them, but I have not seen a single convincing work so far by the Quay Twins. No idea why they are held in such high regard. Not even the music in this one could convince me and that is usually their strongest area. Not recommended.
