Surviving Life - Jan Svankmajer
It's not the latest film I've seen, but it's the latest I've seen that's worthy of note. After watching Institute Benjamenta and Lunacy I've fallen in love with Svankmajer and Brother's Quay's films (Piano Tuner Of Earthquakes is a must for fans of the avant-garde). While these are most certainly art-house films (which you'd expect if you've ever seen his adaption of Alice In Wonderland), Svankmajer doesn't seem to appreciate the label so much, striving to make his works as unpretentious as possible and outright explaining what it is he's set out to achieve at the beginning of his films.
Surviving Life follows a man, Eugene, who becomes troubled by recurring vivid dreams of a strange woman, he is then referred to a psychiatrist who specialises in dream analysis. As the psychiatrist tries to solve what it is that's troubling his sub-concious, Eugene instead only wishes for help invoking the dreams with no intention of solving any problems, cheating on his wife with the literal woman of his dreams. Undeterred the psychiatrist continues to pick away at Eugenes dreams finally solving who this woman is and what's been eating away at Eugene in a haunting climax that you probably won't forget in a hurry. Definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something a little different.
