I love the Brothers Quay! 'Institute Benjamenta' is a beautiful film. 
Every single shot is wonderfully composed. I am also a fan of their 
animation work and I think their style translated really well into 
this live action movie. Another thing I like about it is the pacing - 
it's very slow and meditative. I seek out slow movies these days, 
with so many fast, action oriented movies becoming the standard.
