Review of Meshes of the Afternoon

I was intrigued, perhaps like a lot of people to see this short film so highly rated by ' Sight and Sound ' that it got sixteenth place as one of the best films ever made. Thanks to invaluable YouTube I have watched it, and frankly I was disappointed. That it maybe there for female creativity is valid, but stepping back from that and after watching seemingly endless shots of keys coming out of a mouth, and a darkly veiled figure with a blank face ( an all too obvious mirror filling the blankness ) I wondered why this horror/psychodrama/melodrama has received so much attention. No spoilers but the ending could be seen a mile off, and the one virtue of the film for me was that it was short. I do not deny certain images of beauty, but sixteenth place as the best of all time is in my opinion an exaggeration compared to Bunuel's ' Un Chien Andalou ' which richly deserved that prestigious place. Or come to think of it Kenneth Anger's outstanding ' Fireworks ' made when he was a teenager. I maybe wrong about this film, but in all honesty I do not want to see it again. As for the use of a knife endlessly seen Bunuel would have used it once and it would have been a shocking revelation. I had no such revelation with ' Meshes of the Afternoon. '
