Surrealism in film

Surrealism in film is a movement that seeks to challenge conventional narrative and logic, often merging dream-like imagery with unexpected juxtapositions. It aims to explore the unconscious mind, emotions, and the absurdity of human experience. Influential films, like Luis Buñuel’s "Un Chien Andalou" and Jean Cocteau’s "Beauty and the Beast," use bizarre scenarios and striking visuals to evoke feelings rather than tell straightforward stories. This approach invites viewers to interpret meaning beyond traditional storytelling, pushing the boundaries of creativity and perception in cinema.
