No-one's mentioned Godard's _Passion_ yet?
Harry Smith's _Heaven and Earth Magic_ (aka #12) and Larry Jordan's
_Sophie's Place_ are in a direct lineage with Ernst's victorian
illustration collages (& yes, they does have "narratives").
In shorter segments: The Dali sequence in Hitchcock's _Spellbound_ ...
and Bob Clampett's _Porky in Wackyland_. The Last Supper scene in
Bunuel's _Viridiana_ ... I seem to recall that _The Phantom of Liberty_
references Goya's Shootings of May 3 but I don't remember if it's
actually restaged or if a closeup of a print is just used as the first
shot of a scene (both?), it's been a long while since I've seen it ...
there's a pieta or five floating around in the back of my brain but I
can't put my finger on any of them at the moment.
