The master filmmaker relates eight “dreams,” including one where he wanders through Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings. Alice [Neco Z Alenky] (1.

Amarcord (1. 97. 3) – A year in the life of an Italian town under Fascist rule, as Federico Fellini (mis)remembers his youth in comic vignettes that range from strange to surreal. The American Astronaut (2.
An absurdist indie sci- fi/western/musical/comedy co- starring the Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman’s Breast. Antichrist (2. 00. Controversial, extremely graphic allegory about a man and woman lose their child and retreat to a cabin in the woods where they go crazy. The Apple (1. 98.
