Meshes of the Afternoon	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Meshes of the Afternoon is an experimental 1943 14-minute film directed by Maya Deren and her husband, Alexander Hammid, and written by Deren.The film opens with a mysterious hand placing a rose on a driveway. A woman (Deren) sees the flower, picks it up, and takes it into her apartment. She falls asleep in a chair and appears to have a dream in which she chases after a mysterious hooded and cloaked figure with a mirror for a face. A succession of odd images continue to appear, with one motif focusing on a kitchen knife that changes into a key, then back into a knife, then back into a key. A second and a third woman, played by Deren, both appear, until there are three identical versions of the woman in the kitchen of the apartment. One version of the woman attacks another version of the woman with a knife. Then a man (Hammid) appears, and he seems harmless enough, but he moves just like the cloaked figure with the mirror face...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Meshes of the Afternoon / int_6d332aea	type	Driven to Suicide
Meshes of the Afternoon / int_6d332aea	comment	Driven to Suicide: The film seems to be suggesting this. There's the presence of the Grim Reaper-like character, the recurring visual motif of the knife, and the scene where one version of the woman attacks another version of the woman with the knife. See also the ending that finds the woman dead in a chair. The film seems to be an elliptical illustration of some sort of moment of emotional turmoil that ends with the woman killing herself.

Meshes of the Afternoon / int_7142b38a	comment	The Grim Reaper: The cloaked figure looks just like the Reaper, except for the mirror face. This may suggest some sort of death wish on the part of the woman.
