Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, Keith Griffiths, Larry Sider - Punch & Judy (1981)

Punch & Judy: Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy (1981)
Following Punch and Judy from their malevolent medieval personas through their much-mollified assimilation into English folklore, this film finally restores the odd couple to their rightful roles as hair-raising anarchists. It is a stunning mixture of mime, mask, painting, crudely animated documents and mischievously reanimated newsreels, as well as the demonic atonalities of a modernist opera by Harrison Britwistle brought to "life" in a puppet fantasy/nightmare.

I remember watching Punch and Judy as a kid and being delighted by it
A shame it's so rarely done nowadays
