This is a ‘free’ adaptation of Max Ernst’s collage book “La femme 100 têtes”, originally published in 1929.
The book consisted of a surrealist picture per page, with a little legend. But the story depended on the ability of the reader to interpret the collages, and was not relying that much on the legends. The book was about a woman who was living among ghosts and ants, and was an allegory of the immaculate conception.Read More »
The camera shows views of the Victorian city of Liverpool while residents deliver comments off-camera what they feel about their relocation to large housing estates while the old inner city buildings are being pulled down. Even if the living conditions were not great the sense of community and feeling at home has been lost after moving to the new flats.
This is the first film by British documentarian Nick Broomfield.Read More »

The film is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution (1917). Pelechian experiments with this film what he will not cease to develop in subsequent films, namely a montage of pre-existing images, alternating past, present and future, the plot of which forms a symbolic representation that goes beyond the history of Russia alone. We see popular revolt movements, parades, emblematic figures, rubbing shoulders with images of explosions, corpses or moving machines, with this rhythmic flow so particular to the aesthetics of the filmmaker.Read More »

To a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover’s face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to the character covered in eyeballs, the style and themes of Dalí are clearly recognizable throughout.Read More »

The film seems to be organized around a great threat with the appearance of rumor; a representation of chaos through the apocalyptic fugues of herds of animals, terrified, whose camera gazes sometimes seem like desperate calls, but whose inertia in flight finds the counterpoint with the peaceful flight of clouds of birds escaping from the earth and men, who colonize it with the sound of guns.Read More »
