Surrealist Cinema

Surrealist cinema is a film style that explores the unconscious mind, dreams, and irrational thoughts through unconventional visuals and narratives. It often features bizarre, dream-like sequences, unexpected juxtapositions, and abstract symbolism to challenge logical storytelling and evoke emotional or subconscious responses. Influenced by Surrealist art and literature, this genre aims to break free from realism, encouraging viewers to interpret multiple layers of meaning and experience a deeper, often unsettling, emotional resonance. It’s a way of using cinema to access the mysteries of the subconscious and express complex inner worlds beyond rational explanation.
