The Plain Man's Guide to Advertising (1962)

A surreal mix of advertising tropes from the 1960s is very funny but has a neat anti-capitalist undertow.

Mr. Fantômas

Mr. Fantômas

7.1
1937

Monsieur Fantômas is very rich in terms of surrealist images― e.g. three mysterious masked men cycling across the beach in slow motion, Inspector Juve’s assistants breaking down a door in the middle of the sand with the help of a gigantic key used as a battering ram, the two lovers' romantic and rather gripping walk along the seaside (he is masked, while she is wearing a nun’s wimple and a swimming suit) hand in hand... But one image stands out from all the rest: the sequence in which Fantômas is surrounded by police.
