A beautiful poetry of transfiguration. Wonderful oneiric puzzle. Bunuel's heritage and Lynch's inspiration

This little surrealist masterpiece by Maya Deren and her then husband Alexander Hammid fits more ideas, invention and memorable scenes into its 14 minutes than most films manage in a considerably longer period! A woman dreams of pursuing a mysterious hooded figure (?The Grim Reaper) with a mirror for a face. My interpretation of it is that when she sees this figure in her room she is looking at her own death - something which seems to be presaged by the symbolic objects that keep disappearing then re-appearing, particularly a key that turns into a knife; but I'm probably being over-simplistic or have missed the point altogether! In my favourite scene, Deren is walking up a normal set of stairs, and each time she pushes against the wall, it triggers the camera to move in that direction, almost as if the camera is part of her body. There is no dialogue, only a droning soundtrack (added 9 years later by husband #3 Teiji Ito) which heightens the sense of foreboding. This is a strange and unsettling film but an endlessly fascinating one.

this is totally ground breaking.modern film makers should learn from her films.

A milestone of a short, and, in my opinion, worlds above and beyond Un Chien Andelou. The surrealism is smooth and intriguing, the "Narrative" never at a slog, and nightmarish in a very subtle way. A beautiful Gagaku inspired score is perfect with the strange style of the film.

The imagery on display in these 14 short minutes outguns that in the majority of feature-length films. A cloaked Anais Nin, face hidden behind a mirror- for indelible cinematic images you can't do better.
