A bedtime story for adults. Based on a Hoffman story, this gothic version of the classic story conveys the horror of the original- and also offers another reading as a primer in Jungian theories: sleep equals denial of life, unconsciousness is therefore an invitation to death. The film led to Paul Berry (1961-2001) working as animator on Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas."
