A selection of films, famed for their decision to throw convention out of the window. This list pays homage to the great surrealist films from the history of cinema.
Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
The 70s was a seminal decade for daring, unconventional films that broke cinematic boundaries. Though many were praised by critics, their bold styles proved polarizing for mainstream audiences. Revisiting these overlooked classics reveals their ambitious innovation that was ahead of its time.
The decade of slow burners, atmosphere and maybe even a little bit of the occult.
