Quote:
"Caroline Leaf's films (most notably The Metamorphosis of Mr. Samsa [...], her treatment of Kafka's story of a man's transformation into a giant insect), demonstrate how well animation can model the stuff of which that psychological space is composed. Her viewpoint is as mobile and responsive to every nuance as is the constantly evolving present in a 'stream of consciousness' novel."
-- Brian Ashbee
