Title: Re: HELP! Post by: Gus Nukem on April 11, 2004, 07:48:15 PM Most of Tim Burton's stuff and Terry Gilliam's are surrealistic and great movies as well. I understand both these filmmakers are heavily influenced from the late german cinematographic expressionism ( 10-15 years before the break of nazism) and Jean Cocteau.
Note all of the above have little or nothing to do with the avant guard film genre. |
