Dreams
by Akira Kurosawa

husband through sensual escapades in the spirit realm--her own subconscious.

The Exterminating Angel
by Luis Buńuel
1962 - VHS

The invited guests at an elegant dinner party find that a mysterious force compels them not to leave. After three days, hunger, thirst and desperation take over, leaving the semi-savage guests to undergo a formidable transformation of both, mind and spirit. Considered by many, his greatest surreal film after L'age D'or, Exterminating Angel gives Buńuel a chance to go back to his cultural roots of the French Surrealism, not allowing culture, education, religion or other institutions to interfere with the content of characterization but to allow his characters to roam free like dreams or sometimes nightmares in a world of pre-fabricated emotions.
