Quay (2015) has become one of the most talked-about documentary films, and this guide covers everything you need before you press play. Led by Stephen Quay and Timothy Quay, the film balances spectacle with character. Below you'll find an honest look at the story, the people behind it, and whether it deserves a spot in your queue.
Quay plot and story overview
At its core, Quay follows a story that unfolds like this: In 2015, Christopher Nolan curated a selection of short films by the surrealist animators the Quay Brothers to be distributed as a touring 35mm presentation. The three films—"In Absentia" (2000), "The Comb" (1991) and "Street of Crocodiles" (1986)—were accompanied by this brief portrait of the brothers at work in their London studio.
Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "We don’t try to emulate what’s outside our window, that’s the last thing we want to emulate." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
