Fantasy is to be detached from reality. Among the many film genres, it is the one that best fits the definition of "movie". Because movies are dreams outside of reality.
Fantasy movies often have the characteristics of romanticism, the visual effects are mainly gorgeous, the narrative techniques can not follow the general timeline and carry out, from the story theme to divide, it can cover science fiction, horror, fairy tales, superheroes and other film elements, so it is a very popular branch in the history of film. Today, Xiaobian has also selected several wonderful fantasy films, and I hope that everyone can also wake up their minds after watching it, so as to escape from the bitter reality in front of them.

Valerie and Her Miracle Of The Week (1970)
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Director: Jaromir Iresh
Starring: Jarosrava Sallerova
When it comes to fantasy films, it is bound to mention this work, as one of the masterpieces of the Czech New Wave, Valerie and Her Miracle Week is famous for its dreamy experience of maiden menarche.
The key clue in the film is a pair of earrings, and after getting these two earrings, our protagonist Valerie begins to encounter many strange things, she becomes the daughter of the bishop, and at the same time sees the village become a vampire stronghold, and then she chooses to sacrifice to save this self-imagined world or escape to a deeper self-fantasy. The emotions of the audience also swayed several times in this short 77 minutes with her choice.
It gave the author the impression of eating a poisonous mushroom, which at first made my adrenaline soar, and the excitement felt like a torrential rain, but this sudden fierce emotion would soon fall back, and when I opened my eyes, I would not perceive anything except to see the old demon in the fairy tale incarnated in the dark and smiling at you.

Under the Berlin Sky (1987)
Wings of Desire
Directed By: Wim Wenders
Starring: Bruno Gantz / Solvague Domartan / Otto Sandel / Kurt Boyce
Under the Berlin Sky is a black-and-white film directed by Wim Wenders. The film tells the story of two angels who travel over the city of Berlin and listen to the human beings, and one of the angels who fall in love with humans and finally decides to become mortal in pursuit of love. The mystery of this fantasy story is that Wim Wenders constructs an illusory space of consciousness, making those human whispers, pouring out, and heartfelt voices into whispers, so that these illusory illusions of nothingness that do not exist have become human explorations of the fantasy world, and whispering softly seems to exist as if they really exist.
The city of Berlin is empty and mysterious under the camera, the camera looks down on the earth from the perspective of God, and angels swim in the twilight, listening to the world's meditations. Because the language is pale, it is shielded as a voiceover. Reality and dreams reflect, reality and nothingness, self and self game, overhead consciousness, reading the soul, self-redemption, the whole process is completely controlled by the director. "When a child is a child, he always mentions these questions" is a recurring line that is simply divine. "Under the Berlin Sky" does not rely on special effects to complete this fantasy, but reminds us that wild thinking may be the wonderful moment in boring life.

Rhapsody of the Black Shop (1991)
Delicatessen
Director: Marc Carroll / Jean-Pierre Genet
Starring: Dominic Pinon / Marie-Laure Dougnac / Jean-Claude Drefis
The story of "Rhapsody of the Black Shop" takes place in an apartment, and the time is set in a fictional era. Co-produced by Marc Carroll and Jean-Pierre Genet, and the film is also the debut of both directors, the story is inspired by the real experience of Jean-Pierre Genet, who once lived in the apartment and the slaughterhouse downstairs.
"Rhapsody of the Black Shop" is a black comedy, full of black humor, the treatment of color is also very absurd, the story of bizarre events emerge in an endless stream, small objects create a sense of fantasy, under such an arrogant and rough theme, the details can be handled so exquisitely and gorgeously. Although the narrative is slightly messy, the scenes, atmospheres, and tones are extremely novel, and a dilapidated black apartment has built a strange world that only exists in images or imaginations, grotesque, chic, and likable. The love story of "I got lost in your foggy eyes" and "Warm Flood" in the movie is also very exciting.

Rhapsody (1999)
Tuvalu
Director: Fayette Helmer
Starring: Denis Lavan / Chulipan Hamatova /
Philip Clay / Terrence Gillespie
Rhapsody has a stronger romantic temperament than the average fantasy film, telling the story of how a blind sauna struggles to survive in the context of the decline of the public bath industry. This includes the employees' strategies to deal with the developer's plan to reclaim the land, as well as some of the emotional entanglements between men and women in the process. The plot is simple and easy to understand, but the director uses a lot of blank ways to deal with the narrative, and the imaginary scenes are often grafted into it, which is easy for people to suddenly distinguish between the real and the unreal in the movie.
This work contains many metaphors, such as the bathhouse, which represents: a pool of water, ending in one state, towards the fate of destruction; navigation means: the outside world, the infinity after death, the determination to be born again. If you interpret it in the context of humanity's doomsday dilemma, this fantasy film can also fly close to the ground.
Secondly, its atmosphere is also very good, there is almost no dialogue, but I prefer this balance to silent films, because it does not have the exaggerated performance inherent in silent films, but does not move, quietly presenting a wonderful adventure in a narrow and fixed place, how good, how pleasant.

High Noon Development (2000)
Mysterious Object At Noon
Directed By: Apichatpong Welashaku
Starring: Juan Jay Irusri / Ronin Tim
In High Noon, we can see a very interesting attempt, the director with a 16mm camera to randomly interview the local Thai citizens, let them tell anything they want to express, can be a memory, can be a dream, can be improvised, and then the next interviewer to based on the story told by the previous interviewer to do solitaire, as a variation of the film, to ensure that each new paragraph has its own independent life. This technique makes the story more and more bizarre, and the viewing meaning becomes more and more intense, which becomes a very special fantasy movie.
The author will share my own short review: Apichatpong tells the 16mm artificial legend in a windless and waveless way, and in this surreal continuation of tropical diseases, drowsiness, symptoms, dreams, Thai songs, local myths, tigers, souls, past and future lives, Southeast Asian climate, humid and hot summer, banana trees, home-made small talk, body labor, wild winds and wild roads: The camera tilts back and forth in these loose distractions, making people intuitively trance.

Scientific Sleep (2006)
The Science of Sleep
Director: MichelLe Gundry
Starring: Gayle García Bernal / Charlotte Gansbour / Alain Shaba / Emma de Caone
"Scientific Sleep", also known as "Sleepwalking Rhapsody", as the title indicates, this work contains many beautiful dreams, which are either amazing and terrifying, or romantic and wonderful, in short, they are various and diverse, and it is these fantastic dreams that make up this very interesting romantic comedy.
The two men and women in the story are neighbors to each other, they all have a talent for imagination that others can't understand, and in the opposite of each other, they become more and more affectionate, and then they begin to communicate in a unique way to each other, and the god of love also unconsciously comes to their heads...
Perhaps the biggest feeling of this movie is that the inner activities of timid and unkind people are generally richer! For example, in the movie, they can realize the separation between reality and dreams through the self-made "one-second time machine", and they can use their imagination to ride a small cloth horse to the white boat moored on cellophane, so as to land on the next island with their lover. However, sometimes no matter how magnificent and charming the imagination is, it may not be better than the touch of each other's palms for a moment. Always self-creation in the closed will finally make people feel bored, this sentence, the author also tells the twenty-three-year-old self.
