Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)

Meshes is a short film, lasting just fourteen minutes but it’s one of the most powerful and important pieces of surrealist cinema ever made. It presents some very striking imagery that you’ll have to interpret in your own way, and a truly inspired use of sound that is occasionally chilling. It ought to be essential viewing for every student of film.
