Meshes of the afternoon

A film by Maya Deren and Alexander Hamid. The music is by Teiji Ito (1943)
In the 40s, Deren made a number of experimental films.
In the beginning of Meshes of the Afternoon, she presents her self and an unknown stranger. She connects both by a flower that is dropped y the first. Interestingly, she then uses repetition, to reveal her self as the stranger. In this repetitiveness she is very successful, by altering each time she repeats a part of the film in a small way. Through this she shows and furthers the plot, as every time the viewer is given a bit more information, and a newly introduced form of the main character.
Though it is somewhat violent, as the main character has conflict between her self with a knife, the film is successful.
The music complements and adds to the element of mistery.
