Alternate Title: Muzne hry

Directed by: Jan Svankmajer

year: 1988 14 minutes

Nominated for the Palme d'Or for "Best Short Film" at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.

A man sits down with plenty of beer to watch a game of football but the points in this game tally body count rather than goals. Jan Svankmajer’s claymation Grand Guignol keeps the crowd cheering while the man gorges on cookies. When the animated players charge the real world of the glutton’s apartment, a time-honored warning receives a new gloss: "Let the spectator beware."
