The surrealism of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

By : Seif Mohamed 

Someone once said  

In order to get the ultimate combination  of a perfect motion picture it must contain three elements 

Tears, blood , and cum 

 

and watching this film i have seen the three and more 

Tears and sadness 

Blood and death 

Fear and terror 

Sex and cum 

All combined in one line of events that you can’t understand how after all it still make sense  but it does ...

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970 )

So surreal yet so sensible in an understandable way 

Valerie,  that teen girl who lives with her grandmother after the death of her parents. And she found her self facing the  harassment  of a monster who stole the earrings given to her by her mother.

Even the film’s overview  is so surreal yet  very short  

making this film a masterpiece of art and surrealism .
