BSA 106 Surrealist film

Surrealist film

surrealist films began during an art movement in pairs between 1924 to 1941 where film makers,writers/poets and artists, most notably Andre Brenton, Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel would use shocking or confusing imagery in their films, poetry and art to challenge the concept that art has to be a representation on reality. these films differ from western conventions because they dont follow a normal story arc, normally end in non-sequitur's and more usage of juxtaposition film techniques. 

an animation that was inspired by surrealist film was spirited away by studio ghibli, this can be seen through their uses of disturbing imagery like that of several creatures that occupy the abandoned amusement park, best seen by the spirit no face who starts off as a ominous character appearing only to the main character, but after eating some of the residence of the bathhouse becomes a grotesque monster

spirited away also uses. most notably, the similarity's to dreams, which often surrealist films use or are even based off dreams this is seen by how time works differently to become night quicker, all the unusual creatures that are encountered in the dream like amusement park and unusual rules that dont seem logical eg: when the main character crosses a bridge she is invisible to the spirits, creatures etc if she holds her breath.
