It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is Jan Svankmajer's second film. It's a short that consists of a man playing a piece by Bach as various things around the organ move about on their own. It's filmed in black and white. But unlike later films by the master stop-motion artist, the things that move or seem to move are very mundane...such as doors or stones or holes opening up in the walls. I noticed state some felt this was a masterpiece, but frankly, I think his later stuff is so much better...and often creepier. This one isn't nearly as weird nor as interesting. For Svankmajer fans, it's definitely one to see but the man would definitely go on to better things.

i didn't find this second short animated film from Svankmajer as good as his first one,The Last Trick.this one was just a bit too sedate in comparison.it's not horrible by any means and while there is lots going on,it's not quite as dynamic,for lack of a better word.it's only 10 minutes in length,but it gets a bit repetitive before it's over.The Last Trick was in colour,while this one's in black and white.i'm not sure if it being in colour would necessarily have changed my opinion,but it certainly would have been a different film.anyway,that's neither here nor there.for me,Johann Sebastian Bach: Fantasia G-moll is a 4/10

Hey, I like abstract art. I like it a lot. I've done it, too. I preface my short review with those remarks because I didn't care for the film, and it had nothing to do with appreciating abstract art. Yeah, I know the filmmaker Jan Svankmejer was showing these house objects to the music....but that doesn't make it entertaining. Yeah, I noticed the textures and the shapes. Sometimes "arty" material is vastly overrated as well as underrated.With motion films, I am of the opinion that if it's boring and the audience is snoring in their seats, it's not good entertainment.....and entertainment is what the movies are about. Looking at stone walls, metal objects on the outside of the old house, doors and windows, etc., all to Bach's number was kind of cool for a couple of minutes. After that: b-o-r-i-n-g, and please don't give me the "you didn't get it" reply.

This movie is magnificent, inspiring, and very creative. Outside of narrative constructs, this movie deals with tone... tone described in the breaking and fragmented walls of some mysterious apartment.Architecture itself has been described by some as "frozen music", so this presents a sort of inverse relationship: music as melting architecture. What I find great about it, though, is that the grain and the grittiness of the walls fits perfectly with the tone of the song. Svankmajer has opened up an association with a famous composition into his own defined and bordered world--something an animator would be more prone to do, and a puppet master would know all about.--PolarisDiB
