Dr Charakter presents II

Poland2012animated8'Retrospektywa Piotra Dumały (2021)

Two years after making an effective pure nonsense animation Dr Character Presents, a pastiche of talk-shows with interviews with interesting people, Dumała returned to his protagonist. This time, the eponymous doctor invites even weirder guests. Dr Character talks to a man who taught an ant to eat with a knife and a fork within 25 years, Helen the machine who loves ironing or an older man looking for an English tap and die. It is a sign of the times that television increasingly shows not just interesting but weird individuals.
