Dear Hui, Yes, me myself wouldn't describe them as abstract too. What I am trying to find is the shoots that looks like abstract painting at that films (and others) Alejandro Jodorowsky, in my point of view, is surrealist. And Barney - yes, his films is abstract, I'll think about the relation of his films with my research. Thanks a lot for the suggestion of Anger and Chesh New Wave, I totally forgot about Keslevskij!
