Surrealism
Follies of the Madmen #498

To Be Alive
Moments of surreal or bizarre imagery in a nice little film about enjoying life.
One weird addendum: you are seeing only one-third of the film. The film was meant to run on three screens simultaneously, with different imagery on each screen, although sometimes, I think, they synchronized.

Dali’s Drunken Montage from MOONTIDE
Surrealist Salvador Dali was hired to create the drunken montage at the top of the story but his sketches were deemed too bizarre, and the scene was shot with only some of his influence (most likely the close-up of the clock, the headless woman) intact.
