Simon Stylites, to be nearer to God, has perched on a pillar for years and provided an inspiration to the surrounding people and a resolute defiance to the temptations, including a very tempting Silvia Pinal, of the Devil. However the Devil gets the last laugh after transporting him to a modern-day New York night-club. Wonderfully blasphemous.

Sensing that these dreams have some deeper meaning, he goes to see a psychoanalyst, Dr. Holubova, who interprets them for him, with the help of some argumentative psychoanalytical griping from the animated heads of Freud and Jung.

Visually stunning Japanese cyber-punk nightmare destined to become a cult classic in the mould of Eraserhead. The disjointed story follows the descent into madness of a metal-fetishist who, after a car accident, mutates into a metal/flesh cyborg. Surreal, bizarre and tragic, you will be unnerved!

Another Bunuel masterpiece. Narrated by a bourgeois old man (surprisingly enough), this is the story of the sexual humiliation that he has suffered at the hands of his lover, Conchita. The duality of her personality eludes him, and leads him further into obsession and confusion. Wonderful.

The mythical "Colour of Pomegranates", the life of 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, (included in Time Out's 100 greatest all time movie list), double-billed with the "Legend of the Suram Fortress", a Georgian myth about a young boy who saves the constantly crumbling Suram Fortress by allowing himself to be covered with earth and eggs and walled up alive. Eloquent images and obscure symbols constructed in striking tableaux vivants, emblematic gestures or formalised movement. Beautiful, surr

Every night the sadistic, tasteless thief dines in the most extravagant restaurant, whilst the wife meets the lover in the "bathroom". A savage indictment of 1980s Britain (champagne louts) and a gastronomic nightmare amongst a lavish set with camerawork to match. This film has a profound impact.
