At Land
We watched a silent movie called "At Land" today by _____. It was black and white and seemed to have a very surreal style to it, it was almost dreamlike as the main character would wander from scene to scene encountering many different people and places. It reminded me of Michel Gondry's work with "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" and "Waking Life," which is another movie based on dreams and surrealism. I've always enjoyed films like this because I find it very interesting if the filmmaker gets it right, "it" being what a dream is really like upon recollection.

the door scene and crawling actually also made me think of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
i didn't think of it as a dream for some reason, although that makes a lot more sense than just some random story that is completely improbable like i had thought of it.
