Let me say this out loud, I'm from India, I want to make movoes but there's no film school here and I've to say, your videos on horror are the best I've ever seen. I've downloaded them in case you delete them, I wanna watch them for the rest my life. Bless you man. 1 tiny suggestion, people here are those who have no access to film school so please make videos on the process of film making. From script writing to cinematography. Please do that it'll help countless kids like me who are lost on youtube 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@shubhamjamwal5284 Год назад

@@aquariandawn4750 they don't let outsiders come in. It's not like how things work in the states. They won't hire you based on your short film or your potential. They hire people who they know and have been working with for years plus, I would love to make a24 like edgy films that get under your skin but all they do is family drama and dance numbers. Film schools are expensive and they're concentrated in 2 big cities. Being a guy from an underdeveloped city, it's almost impossible to move out and survive in big city without having good financial support from family. I won't stop though, even if I've to get a job in army or police or anything else, I'll gather the money to buy equipment. I'll use social media. I'll not stop. It may take years but I'll make it.

I think Alejandro Jodorosky is the epitome when it comes to surrealist filmmaking. Im underwhelmed you only mentioned one of his films as a honorary recommendation. His movies rank among the unconventional classics that defy the way we usually tell stories. Watch El Topo or The Holy Mountain.

Wonderful list & synopses, love all these films! I'd like to add one of my favorites, Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad (1961). It's truly a gorgeous, mesmerizing experience from start to finish, and I always find myself thinking about it long after watching. The script may have been in some part based on the short novel The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares (a friend of Borges), which I'd highly recommend as well.

One of the most enjoyable elements of 'Brazil' [which is in my all time top ten favourite films] is that you can feel that despite the incredibly dark story the entire cast were having an absolute whale of a time making it! I mean you can genuinely tell that they were really enjoying themselves in every scene! A film I would add to this list is Takeshi Miike's gloriously absurd 'Happiness of the Katakuri's! Gloriously strange!

@rodrigovalerosancho2234 3 года назад

I agree with a viewer about Jam Svankmajer. Anything he has done, from his shorts to his later full length movies, are essential in surrealism. Also there is a little gem and very funny Italian French movie with Michelle Piccoli called Themroc that you should check. Otherwise an amazing video. Thank you very much.

A partial list of Surreal faves: "Conspirators of Pleasure" by Jan Svankmejer (any Svankmejer film could make this list, but "Conspirators..." is just so dang funny!), "Baron Munchausen" by Karel Zeman (Gilliam's version is great, too - but, Zeman did it all, first!), "Begotten" by E. Elias Merhige (dark and disturbing nihilism...), "City of Lost Children" by Jeunot & Caro (what ever happened to Marc Caro, anyway?), and "Taxidermia" by György Pálfi (hilarious and bizarre). Plus, I'll throw in "ZARDOZ" by John Boorman (because it has Sean Connery running around in a cloth diaper while a giant floating stone head rants about penises and vomits guns - so good...).

Oh you! The bourgeoisie aren't the rich, educated, elite class you think it is. Rappers have appropriated the word to mean the champagne set, bling and cocaine. High end couture, limo's and red carpet. Art house and Warhol. But when the film was made, the bourgeoisie meant something different. The bourgeoisie are the middle class. Small business owners, middle management, accountants. Disney and Olive garden types. Maybe you're thinking of the Bourgeois? Slightly more wealthy. I suppose you could be Marxist Marxism only has 2 classes, the bourgeoisie ( white collar) and the proletariat ( blue collar).

@ethanvasquez9904 3 года назад

A really good surreal film that I've never seen talked about is The Aerial (La Antena). It's an Argentinan film that I found on Netflix but I beleive it isn't on there anymore since I can't find it in the search bar. It's all in black and white and none of the characters have voices except for two people, The Voice and her son. The whole story is that of dreams and what I beleive to be a commentary against totalitarianism (I mean there's a part where the villain has a flat out swastika shaped contraption). The way they show the characters without voices talking is so strange yet interesting, seeing their words physically float around and exit their mouths. It was surprising how unique it was and sad that it's seemingly so difficult to find now. There's a trailer for it on RU-vid but other than that I'm unsure on where to find the actual movie now. The whole thing is amazing from the music to the visuals to the story itself and I really recommend it for anyone interested in surreal media.

@rockalypsen3844 2 года назад

I have seen and liked all the movies you listed here. Yes, they are very beautiful, trippy, smart, experimental here and there and overall great movies, but none of them are truly loyal to surrealism, that's why they didn't make the list. I think it's misleading to say they are good refferences for someone who is interested in getting into surreal cinema. Something from Luis Bunuel, David Lynch or Alejandro Jodorowsky would be a much better suggestion, since most of their movies are surreal from head to toe.

@RasmusSchultz 2 года назад

An absolutely wonderful film that uses the surreal to stunning effect is Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives from 2010. It's a thai film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul that blends dream and reality in a way that is beautiful, unsettling, and welcoming all at once. It's difficult to explain but the basic idea is an old man is dying and his family has gathered to be with him though even that explanation doesn't really do justice to the base premise of magical realism and dream blending seamlessly into the reality of a dying man.

Of course Howl's Castle and Spirited Away. Fantastic Planet! And The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. A Clockwork Orange. Adaptation. Holy Mountain. Tarsem's The Fall. My list is less obscure but maybe there are surrealist fans who still have never seen these masterpieces.

Surrealism and magical realism are different terms, the second coined from the novel 100 Years of Solitude. There are only a few magical realist movies out there, and to me the perfect example of one is 1991s romantic comedy L.A. Story with Steve Martin.
