'Meshes of the Afternoon' Enters the Realm of Sci-Fi
Many have interpreted Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon as a dream sequence, but what if the repetitive scenes we are given are not dreams but, a time loop.
A Wasted Night
Aya and Asuka work in the sex industry. Despite clashing personalities, they somehow get along, spending every spare moment chatting aimlessly as they hang out in coffee shops, smoke together outside, or ride together in their work van. One day, the van breaks down, and they find themselves walking through the city at night. Wandering aimlessly and talking, their trivial chatter gradually takes on a greater depth.
