This Japanese stop-motion animated science fiction film was directed and written by Takehide Hori. It has 140,000 stop-motion shots and Hori did it all — voices, sculpting puppets, lighting, camera operating, editing and the music — by himself.

In the future, man can live forever but can longer create life. As they go into decline, Parton goes underground to visit the Magarins, who provide the power that the humans need. Unlike their elite masters, they can keep making new versions of themselves. An explosion kills Parton, but his mind goes into a series of robot bodies which makes him see more of the side of the workers than those benefitting from them.

If you love strange films, science fiction or handmade animation, you need to watch Junk Head.

You can get Junk Head from MVD. It also has The Making Of Junk Head which is really great.
