I like watching an occasional experimental Luis Buñuel movie and I like them for what they are. I can also see the art of the it, just like this movie is definitely a piece of art. I could say that I liked this movie- and found it to be just as appealing as a Luis Buñuel movie though. But a thing is that Buñuel was already making these type of movies in the '20's, so calling this movie, which is from 1943, ahead of its time is a pretty ridicules statement in my opinion. There always is boss above boss.
The movie can be seen as being stuck in a nightmare. A Lot of images within the movie have a nightmarish looking over them, in which a woman sees her own death, only to wake up after it seeing the things she dreamed about really happening. This movie of course doesn't feature your average storytelling but nevertheless because of this the story perhaps even work out all the more effective. The movie doesn't feature any dialog in it and lets all of the images speak for them selves. Some moments within the movie can of course be interpreted in different ways by different people but that is part of the appeal of an experimental movie of this kind.
A nice little surrealistic movie, from and with Maya Daren.
9/10
