In this montage Švankmajer fully exploits the possibilities for the bizarre and surreal juxtaposition and combination of images. Historia Naturae is much more than just a defly assembled parade of eye-catching images. The film reveals itself as a bleak and disturbing comment of human´s treatment of other living creatures.
