Dear Bern:

thanks for sharing your research with everyone.

Two suggestions:

1. City of Women (La Cità delle Donne), dir. Federico Fellini, Italy, 1980 - a dream inside a dream of another dream.

2. São Bernardo, dir. Leon Hirszman, Brazil, 1972 - realistic narrator trying to make sense of a reified reality that seems unreal to him, and then the movie can only begin after it ends.

Hope you can find them and if so hope it's useful.

all the best

cass.
