🎬 Film List｜6 Surreal & Absurdly Beautiful Films
Not every film is meant to be “understood.”
Some are dreams with no clear ending, symbols without one meaning, scenes that only ask to be felt. Let them confuse you a little. That’s part of the point.
⸻
🌈 Dreams (1990) – Akira Kurosawa
Eight dreams, one life. Peach orchards, tunnels, crows, snowstorms, and Van Gogh. No need to decode — just drift with it.
🌀 The Fall (2006) – Tarsem Singh
A paralyzed man tells a fantastical story to a child. Shot across 18 countries, every frame looks like a painting. Beautiful, painful, and quietly manipulative.
🔴 The Color of Pomegranates (1969) – Sergei Parajanov
Not a story, but a series of visual poems. Pomegranates, crushed grapes, still bodies — a haunting biography told entirely in metaphor.
💠 Ashik Kerib (1988) – Sergei Parajanov
Almost no dialogue. Just colors, costumes, and movement. A love story that feels more like a ballet than a film.
🖼 Shirley: Visions of Reality (2013) – Gustav Deutsch
13 paintings by Edward Hopper, brought to life. A quiet portrait of American solitude, told through a woman moving through history.
🌋 The Holy Mountain (1973) – Alejandro Jodorowsky
Unhinged, spiritual, grotesque. A man seeks immortality. Gold from filth. Religion, capitalism, ego — all exploded into surreal imagery.
