The film deals in matters of dream states and psychology as a women falls asleep on her couch and encounters different versions of herself, a hooded figure with a mirror for a face, as well as various household items that encapsulate deeper symbolic meaning. This film is an amazing trip through a cyclical dream scenario that has elements of mystery and horror. The film features Deren herself playing the lead role as well as her husband at the time making a brief appearance. Deren took inspiration from films such as <em>Un Chien Andalou<\/em> and <em>L&#8217;Age d&#8217;Or<\/em> by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meshes of the Afternoon  (1943) - Maya Deren (Original Music by Feona Lee Jones)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JoETYvwI7I0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meshes of the Afternoon Review Meshes of the Afternoon is a 1943 short avant-garde film directed by Maya Deren.
