No. 16: Oz: The Tin Woodman's Dream

1967 · 15 min
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

The Tin Woodman, framed by light bulbs, does a little dance, leaps and retrieves his axe from outside the frame, chops down a tree that turns into various objects, grabs a heart emblem from the corner, and goes to the Emerald City at night with Toto. He goes to the edge of a cliff, where he meats an Asian spirit who gives him a heart shape that becomes a kite that hooks to him with a cane. This is followed by approximately ten minutes of kaleidoscopic images, including a man's hands, a dancing girl, and a cutout of Krishna.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a surreal fable, relying on visual poetry and free association of images rather than traditional narrative. It explores the theme of acquiring feelings through abstract, dreamlike metaphors.

What lingers after viewing is the sensation of having dipped into a hypnotic stream of consciousness, where logic yields to pure imagery and rhythm. A deeply personal cinematic vision. — MovieFinder Editorial
