Meshes of the Afternoon by Maya Deren

Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) Dir: Maya Deren, Alexander Hammid. Screenplay: Maya Deren. Cast: Maya Deren, Alexander Hammid. Music: Teiji Ito. B&W. "This film is concerned with the interior experiences of an individual. It does not record an event which could be witnessed by other persons. Rather, it reproduces the way in which the subconscious of an individual will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simple and casual incident into a critical emotional experience." - Maya Deren on ''Meshes of the Afternoon''

Honestly I found this video very bizarre. I thought it was interesting to show her out of body experience and most of the film is the progression of a nightmare. The whole key thing makes me think that he wants to escape from something, the knife makes me think that it is bad enough for her to consider suicide and then the appearance of the man made me realize that she wanted to escape from her life as a wife and that she wanted something more. I thought it was interesting how her dream combined with her real life and caused her death in the end.
