Twórcy dokumentu, Jan Daňhel i Adam Oľha, przez trzy lata śledzili przy pracy jednego z najbardziej rozpoznawanych czeskich reżyserów – Jana Švankmajera. Oprócz tego w filmie znalazły się wypowiedzi jego współpracowników i przyjaciół, przede wszystkim producenta Jaromíra Kallisty. We wspomnieniach, snach i archiwalnych nagraniach pojawia się również zmarła przed laty żona artysty, Eva. (Kino na hranici)

Alchemical Furnace confirmed for me a few days after screening The Man with Hare Ears that Šulík's portrayal of the aging, selfish artist hit the nail on the head. Old Švankmajer shares more than one character aspect with Krobot's character. In contrast, Alchemical Furnace is a celebratory documentary, backed not only by years of evidence of the artist's abilities or his advanced age, but also by an often disarming honesty, often defending the author's stubborn self-adulation. This is matched by the format of the documentary, where we are not informed, for example, about who is who and whether this person is Švankmajer's film producer or some old beer buddy. This corresponds to the protagonist's perception, where the viewer simply knows who Švankmajer is and who the others are, dude doesn't care. Note that any time, no matter how moronic the question, the famous artist manages to answer it with a paragraph. If you're not into that, take a shot any time someone says "tactile" or "imagery" in the movie and say goodnight. I felt like I was at my dad's cottage the whole time and laughing at how similar all these artists from that one era are.
