Vegetarian Werewolf
Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947)
A bunch of avant-garde types -- Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, etc. -- worked on this experimental, surrealistic art film. There's a plot, of sorts. A guy named Joe sells dreams to people. That leads to seven segments of strange images, sounds, music, and narration. Sometimes mysterious and evocative, sometimes innocent and playful, sometimes satiric, sometimes comic. Not for all tastes -- you have to be patient with long scenes of spinning disks -- but beautifully filmed in color. Recommended.
