A Show Within a Show is sometimes the stereotypical artistic independent movie, the kind which practically requires a didactic analysis to convince people that, though it does not aim to entertain the Lowest Common Denominator in any way, it's a profoundly meaningful work of True Art. If one of the main characters makes one, expect Creator Breakdown. These films are likely to have several, if not all, of these elements: Being in a foreign language, usually French. As part of this, most in-fiction examples end with a "Fin" text overlay. German and Scandinavian languages are also used. Alternatively it has no dialogue. Absurd length (expect extremely long static takes of mundane daily activities) or brevity. Impossible for the average viewer to comprehend, though more serious than silly. Produced on a shoestring budget with intentionally lo-fi production. Deliberately Monochrome, even though color production is available. Depressing as hell subject matter, often with a gritty social realism style, presented in an unbearably maudlin style. Bucket-loads of intellectual pretentiousness, usually related to either European philosophical currents like Nihilism or Existentialism, or religion, although always in a strongly symbolic, deliberately abstruse way. Blatant attempts to offend anyone who watches it. Be it via gore, violence, nudity, sex, language, etc. Challenges the "status quo" and open to interpretations (mainly sex, dying and suffering). Soundtracked with harsh, atonal or otherwise bleak experimental modern art music. Alternatively there is no soundtrack at all or music is only played diegetically. Rapid cuts between different subjects, often playing into all the above points, which might or might not be part of the symbolism. In the best cases, usage of this trope is an Affectionate Parody or a sharp Take That! to a particular work, director or movement. In other examples, though, it's quite obvious that the writers didn't know what they were referencing. It's often the goal of the pretentious, egotistical Prima Donna Director. It has to be said, however that this trope applies heavily to people with Small Reference Pools. For instance, although Ingmar Bergman is regarded as an "arty" director, in his lifetime his films were consistent box-office hits as were some of Federico Fellini's and Akira Kurosawa's films along with French New Wave films from François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, etc. Also, there are cultural differences which mean that high concepts, artistic influences and education levels may make some audiences have larger reference pools than others, though there is plenty of debate over which is which. Put simply, what's obscure to some is commonplace in other places and vice versa (which doesn't mean Viewers Are Morons or Viewers Are Geniuses unless you're a True Art snob or Anti-Intellectualism slob).note It is important to emphasize this, since there are many countries that use this trope as a legal loophole to limit the distribution of films with controversial subject matter in a market or to avoid complying with other local legal requirements such as taxes or adding a dub if the local distributor lacks the budget to include one, especially in countries when dubbing is mandatory by law. This is painfully common for non-western movies or from Eastern European countries, through there are rare cases when this trope also happens with mainstream Hollywood films, especially in markets with a love-hate relationship with the western culture, like the Sinosphere (China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc.) Please note that only Show Within a Show examples are objective. Applying this trope to a real work can be considered quite YMMV. See Euroshlock, an index of movies of the kind which this trope is riffing on. |

In (500) Days of Summer, after Tom and Summer break up, Tom is shown sadly watching a movie in the theater by himself. It's a strange, black-and-white French film about a depressed man who, like Tom, is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. | |

In Clone High, Joan of Arc made "The Truth Side Burns" for the student film festival. Said film is comprised of stereotypical symbolism and also weird noises, such as "Whisper Whisper", and, oddly enough, "Céline Dion... Celine Dion..." The funniest part of that was in the end, only Freud got it. | |

Ironically, due to being French, silent, and black and white, a lot of people mistook The Artist sight unseen as one of these when it's actually an incredibly simple and accessible comedy, to the point a lot of critics thought it was too light to be deserving of Best Picture and campaigned for the actual Le Film Artistique in the running that year. | |

Medea's films in Otto; or Up with Dead People are like this. One consists only of people dancing weirdly with their faces painted, another is about revolutionary communist gay zombies, and a third is about a zombie that roams the city with a Fauxlosophic Narration, and they are all in black and white. | |

Mark from RENT begins the show by announcing that he is no longer shooting with a script, instead deciding he is making a documentary. He ends up documenting the year in the friends' lives, even quitting his high-paying job to do so, and the end result is basically a montage of the characters/actors smiling at the camera. In the movie version, the film has more to it, including being more about the HIV certain members are dying from and being dedicated to Angel, who passes away from AIDS, but the end result is still mainly a montage. |

Played for laughs with the fictional production of JonTron's "Flex Tape 2: The Flexening," where Jon tries to one-up the previous video by hiring an avant garde French director (without actually knowing what kind of movies he makes,) and an Italian cinematographer who insists on working while surrounded by literal garbage. The result...well, they were lucky to be able to Fix It in Post. | |

Cheers: In order to convince Woody's parents to let him stay in Boston, the bar gang tries putting together a home movie. Unfortunately, Diane gets her hands on the recording and decides to give it a "touch up". The end result is Manchild in Beantown, a pretentious attempt at an artistic film, with the gang's footage interlaced with stock footage and classical music. Diane is convinced it will persuade Mr. Boyd to let Woody stay. Smash Cut to Woody bidding everyone goodbye, though Diane never gets that she's responsible. | |

The Simpsons "Mr. Plow": Homer's second commercial is turned into one, prominently featuring a woman singing opera and the sun rising and falling over a city but not much about what he actually does. The guy who made the commercial in question claims to have invented this trope. Homer punches him in the face, which the guy apparently gets all the time. "Krusty Gets Kancelled": Krusty's "Itchy and Scratchy" replacement after the original show jumps channels, Worker and Parasite is a faux-Eastern European variant of this trope and a parody of the Tom and Jerry episodes that were produced in Czechoslovakia around the sixties, featuring abstract geometric shapes, unintelligible gibberish, and crackling static noise. "A Star Is Burns": Barney Gumble's film, Pukeahontas, is an angsty and dramatic retelling of his life vanishing down the bottle. This has had multiple fan-made live-action adaptations put up on YouTube. "Home Away from Homer": Lisa is a fan of a foreign film titled Kosovo Autumn, which is about two soldiers and a goat morosely complaining in Albanian about the ongoing war ("I am older than time itself"). "The Italian Bob": Homer is seen watching a Fellini movie which features a person with dwarfism feeding a fat lady spaghetti. |

iCarly: An episode has Spencer hiring a film involving a goat and a balloon in order to impress a hot foreign girl. In the episode "iQ", Carly falls for a boy who is presented as highly intelligent and cultured, enjoys these kinds of movies and takes her to one for their date. Carly is horrified to find out that what she thought was the end of the film after several boring hours was only the intermission. |

Grand Theft Auto V has, as one of its in-universe films, an Italian picture called Capolavoro (which translates as "Masterpiece") that hits all the bullet points in the description's checklist. Gratuitous nudity, black-and-white, incomprehensible discussions of sexuality, the working class, and the Italian education system, and finally, the director himself showing up to speak to the audience. | |

Community: From what we see, the Dean's commercial — which is supposed to be a 30-second spot briefly introducing a community college and why people should study there — spirals out of control to become one of these, as the Dean gets it into his head that he's somehow combating racism among other things. | |

The Soviet Armenian film The Color of Pomegranates, which you might be familiar with from the clips that were used in a Juno Reactor music video. It's a biopic, kind of, about a famous medieval Armenian wool-dyer/courtier/monk/poet/troubadour/martyr (in approximately that order). It's filmed to resemble an illuminated manuscript, there's almost no dialogue, and a female actor plays six roles, including the poet himself at one point. It's undeniably a work of integrity, and of significant artistic and spiritual accomplishment, as well as a fascinating ethnography of Armenian costume, art, music, textiles, folklore, monastic life, and religious custom. (A lot to get done in an hour and a half!) Quite beautiful, too. But if you aren't at least vaguely familiar with Sayat Nova's life, the film will make no sense, and if you are, it'll only make maybe 85% sense on a good day. It was initially banned in the USSR it because they couldn't figure out what the hell it was about, and decided that therefore it was probably some kind of dangerous nationalist parable. So they cut a few minutes from it at random, and released it under the title Red Pomegranates. | |

Céline et Julie vont en bateau (Celine and Julie Go Boating) is a perfectly straight example of this trope. It's French, three hours long, includes seemingly completely unnecessary scenes, has a plot (when you get to it) whose closest comparison would be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the ending... borrows heavily from Theater of the Absurd, that's all we'll say. It's actually un film très charmant if you're patient with it. In fact, it is director Jacques Rivette's most commercially successful and accessible film. If you want a real challenge, see if you can sit through all 13 hours of "Out 1" — if you can find a screening, that is. Actually it has been described as having an almost identical, though comedic, version of the story that Mulholland Dr. later revisited, adding a more explicit lesbian subtext. |

One of the running jokes in Arrested Development is a film called "Les Cousins Dangereux", which would appear to fit the trope fairly well. This is arguably more a parody of "classy" European softcore films. The parody isn't so much that it's art as that Europe is more sexually liberated. Compare the American remake where "classy" and "erotic" are filtered through more stereotypically puritanical American values. | |

Animaniacs at one point plays this for laughs in an episode themed around a drive-in theater, with one film that matches up the description. It was in black-and-white, and in French, but the dialogue was made up entirely of lines from the song "Alouette" — resulting in three people in a train car talking about preparing a bird for the oven as if it was a matter of dire importance. Later on, they quote "Frere Jacques", with the bearded man becoming overly tearful while crying out "Ding dang DONG!" (Quoth Yakko, "This is the worst French film I've ever seen! It's also the only French film I've ever seen.") Another episode Ten Short Films about Wakko featured parodies of Clerks and My Dinner With Andre. |

Rocko's Modern Life: The Chameleon Brothers made one of these, "La Vie moderne de Pinto," out of Rocko's home movies, adding shots of flowers blooming, pretentious narration, and title cards saying "Regret" and "Pineapples", among other things. Of course, the only thing Rocko was concerned about was that the film featured his (pre-censored) nudity. More Hilarity Ensues when he discovers that the chameleons sent it to an Australian Film Festival, which it wins! Even more Hilarity Ensues when Rocko gets a letter from his parents, who saw the film at the festival. Rocko is mortified, but to his amazement his parents absolutely loved it. | |

A sketch from The Benny Hill Show features Benny as an avant-garde French director being interviewed by a fawning Henry McGee, only to repeatedly burst McGee's bubble about his talent as he reveals that all the artsy stuff was actually the result of a low budget or just laziness, like switching from color to black and white after running out of color film, and casting the producer's girlfriend (who has a lisp, causing her to mispronounce a line where she orders soup and make it sound like a profound philosophical statement) as the lead. | |

From The Muppet Show special The Muppets Go to the Movies: Sam the American Eagle is translating what he thinks is the latest masterpiece by Ingmar Bergman, Silent Strawberries. (It's actually by his brother, Gummo.) It stars the Swedish Chef (who else?), who confronts Beaker, who is the Angel of Death. When the Swedish Chef asks to not die, Death gives him a rubber chicken instead. Now he can join a travelling show, and sure enough, in comes a Swedish Kermit presenting a Swedish Fozzie Bear, who tells a joke about Swedish meatballs. It ends with a sing-along to a Swedish version of "Hooray for Hollywood"; by then, Sam has left the stage in disgust. | |

Vase de Noces. A lone farmer who may be the last man on earth slots the heads of dolls onto the heads of doves, collects vegetable matter in jars, sodomizes his pig — which gives birth to what are presumably human/pig hybrids, tries to raise said hybrids as humans by feeding them at the dinner table, then hangs them when he is unable to, prompting the pig to commit suicide, buries himself alongside the pig with his clothes on and reemerges, his clothes now mysteriously absent, tosses all the vegetable matter from the jars into a pond, fills them with his feces and urine instead, makes tea out of said feces and urine and consumes it, hangs himself. Belgian, black and white, no dialogue, the church choir chanting of medieval composers Perotinus and Monteverdi supplies the soundtrack alongside electrically-generated bleeps and bloops. According to the director, it's about an alchemical quest for immortality. | |

Big Train features a parody of French cinema, shot in black and white and spoken in French with subtitles. A woman in a cafe (played by Catherine Tate) tells her boyfriend she's leaving him for "something else" — a set of traffic lights. She eventually decides to return, but the man has taken up with a lawn sprinkler. A similar sketch has the French woman deliver a similarly angsty, introspective monologue to her companion, who sits and nods patiently before, in English, responding with "No, I'm sorry, I don't understand a word you're saying." | |

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee: In "The Kids Stay in the Picture",, Ophelia writes and directs the film "The Unbearable Lightness of Grapefruit", a black and white film with a succession of scenes that illustrate enigmatic metaphors narrated by Ophelia, about racoons and grapefruits. Afterwards, Ophelia, dissatisfied with the result, tries to film it in color, making it even more surreal. The remake is derailed by the fact that Juniper has to deal with monsters, but she, to comfort Ophelia, arranges for the original film to be screened at the Orchid Bay Festival, where it is enthusiastically received. | |

Any of Sander Cohen's movies from BioShock qualify. Black and white, incomprehensible symbolism, random noises and discordant music — they're sometimes scarier than the game itself. Especially when you finish watching one in Burial at Sea when a voice asks "Why do you stand there? When someone is right... BEHIND YOU." and Elizabeth turns around to be face-to-face with one of Sander's mannequins. | |

When Twin Peaks The Return was released, a number of critics argued that it shouldn't be considered a TV show but a movie. If you accept that The Return is a film, it certainly fits with its 17-hour runtime alone. Heavily inspired by David Lynch's later work, the series/film features many silent scenes of characters struggling to communicate and plenty of Surreal Horror. In particular, the infamous Mind Screw Episode 8 features so much Chiaroscuro it appears black and white, and a several minute-long plot-irrelevant scene of an extra sweeping the floor. | |

Parodied in The Goodies episode "The Movies". After the Goodies have purchased Britain's remaining film studio, they watch some of the films it produces, which include the very long and very slow Death in Bognor (a spoof of Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice), and the surreal Life of Pablo Casals by Ken Russell, a spoof of his composer biopics (especially Mahler) featuring a nun stripping to a frenzied cello accompaniment, but revealing a whiteface mime. | |

Minimalist cinema, and Chantal Ackerman in particular. One of Ackerman's films, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is three and a half hours long of a woman doing the same things over and over again.

The Big O does this with memories in general, but specifically there is a short film with relative importance to the plot done in the French style, complete with Deliberate Monochrome, subtitles (because the dialogue is silent), and a big curlicue "Fin" at the end. But it's more of a Film Noir with art-house symbolism than a true art house film. | |

In After the Fox, Peter Sellers plays a master thief who is trying to smuggle gold into Italy. As a cover story, he pretends to shoot an art film in a small coastal village. When the ship carrying the gold is delayed, he has to improvise, shooting scenes at random and trying to come up with explanations for his "artistic vision". In the end, the film is shown at his trial, where a film critic hails it as a work of genius. Of course. | |

Catherine Breillat's Sleeping Beauty starts out similarly to its namesake fairytale with the eponymous beauty being cursed to sleep by a malevolent witch, but very soon, the movie diverges into a strange sort of crossover between Alice in Wonderland, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Pan's Labyrinth as its child protagonist goes on an inexplicable and fantastic adventure that, allegedly, represents a woman's sexuality. When she wakes up from her enchanted sleep, she finds she is suddenly a full-grown adult (despite having slept for one hundred years), and she is quick to randomly engage in sexual acts with both a young man and a young woman. To add to the Mind Screw, the man is the grandson of her adoptive brother and the woman is a grown-up version of a childhood friend, both of whom are characters she met in her dream. And that's all without even mentioning the movie's very inconclusive ending... | |

Anais Nin attends several in Henry & June. Early in the story, she goes to find Henry Miller in a small theater, watching a beautiful art film sex scene with Lots of Symbolism (a necklace breaks and scatters pearls all over the place, people are blowing cigarette smoke). The actress strongly resembles his wife June and when Anais touches him he is weeping. This is not an actual film. It was made for the movie and the actress who resembles June is played by Uma Thurman, who plays June. Later, Anais and her husband with Henry and June watch Mädchen in Uniform.note June whispers "You're like the school teacher. I'm like the young girl." June actually did say this to Anais. Anais returns to the theater with her husband, Henry and her cousin Edouardo. She learns to say "Fuck you, Jack!" to a viewer who disapproves of Un Chien Andalou. | |

Best of the Worst: In their review of Turtle Dreams, the panelists say that the film plays out like a parody of incomprehensible, avant garde art films. It consists of four performers making repetitive movements and meaningless vocalizations against a white backdrop, intercut with a turtle wandering around various dioramas. They note that the synopsis on the back cover is such a surface-level description of what appears in the film that the author must have been just as baffled by it as they are. | |

In the Father Ted episode "The Passion of Saint Tibulus", the film for which the episode is named is a (subtitled) French arthouse film which the Catholic Church has banned for blasphemy but which is showing on Craggy Island due to a legal loophole. Father Ted and Father Dougal go to a screening ostensibly to protest the film on behalf of the Church, but afterwards, they are more concerned with trying (unsuccessfully) to make sense of it. | |

Similarly, Bergman's The Seventh Seal is often parodied to mock artsy European cinema, but the film itself, while heavily symbol-laden, is quite straightforward plot-wise, deals with very relatable, if depressing, themes, and contains a fair bit of comedy, though of a fairly grim sort. | |

Angel's Egg. Slow moving to the point of ponderousness, soul-crushingly bleak, largely free of dialogue (or plot), and filled to the brim with pseudo-religious iconography. Even the director admits to having no idea what the film's ultimate meaning might be (though he may be lying...... just watch it and decide for yourself). | |

Begotten, an American black and white movie with almost no contrast at all (the colours shown are dirty white or dirty black, nothing between), no dialogue, no music, and a story showing an allegory of the Creation of Life through a succession of enigmatic and very gory scenes. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures has Plucky trying to win a student film festival. His incredibly elaborate film gets ruined due to losing all but the last few seconds of footage at the last moment, so he has no option but to enter just that. Cue Cloudcuckoolander Shirley the Loon's unbelievably tedious arthouse-style film, which is so ridiculously long it leaves the festival with just a few seconds left. Plucky's five seconds of footage follow... and the judges are so relieved by Plucky's brevity they immediately declare him the winner. Gogo Dodo's film sort of subverts the trope when it surprises everyone by not being as wacky as they expected (it's actually footage from an old black-and-white Warner Bros. comedy short). He says it was "realism". | |

Most of Peter Greenaway's oeuvre fits this trope. While some films, such as The Draughtsman's Contract and The Pillow Book are fairly well rooted in reality and understandable (for the most part) to the average audience, works like Prosperos Books take neo-baroque to an incomprehensible new level. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus has a hilarious example in "Le Fromage Grand"note The Big Cheese, which, underneath its rubbish-dump setting and random selections of violent Stock Footage, contains a profoundly tragic narrative about a man, a woman, and a lettuce. The lettuce explodes in the end, which is claimed to represent the self-destructiveness of materialism. | |

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is proof that the line between one of these and an outright Exploitation Film is razor-thin. It features what may be the single weirdest monster in the history of cinema, characters speak almost entirely in thoughts, statues cry blood, and the closest thing to a main character is the ghost of Aubrey Beardsley confined behind his own painting. | |

A scene in The President's Analyst (seen on network TV runs but since removed) has James Coburn's character visit an avant-garde movie house. The film is a string of random, squalid imagery that repulses the small audience who all walk out, leaving him and a young lady who grows to share his enjoyment of it. The director angrily confronts them, stating it was meant to be offensive. | |

Homestar Runner The Brothers Chaps made an animated music video for They Might Be Giants's song "Experimental Film", starring the Homestar Runner cast. It's presented as an in-universe film made by Strong Sad and The Cheat. It also features shout outs to several real-life experimental films such as Un Chien Andalou and The Man With A Movie Camera. In the Strong Bad Email "narrator", Strong Bad narrates the Poopsmith shoveling whatsit as a trailer for "a four-hour film with no dialogue and no plot" from "some smelly French studio". A teaser short for the 150th Strong Bad Email has Strong Sad showing off storyboards for a bizarre, avant-garde Strong Bad Email, which involves Strong Bad checking his email in the middle of a desert, Coach Z holding a pear covered in googly eyes while coffee pours down his face, Strong Bad talking with the embodiment of his innermost desires (played by a masked Homestar), and the reflection of Strong Bad shedding a Single Tear in the filling of a jelly donut. Coach Z and the eyeball-pear show up as an Easter Egg for the episode proper. He has no idea what's going on. In the Strong Bad Email "independent", Strong Sad's independent film consists of black and white stills of a dying potted plant and Homestar Runner saying things like "I just...don't think I can handle...eating this...asparagus", accompanied by a soundtrack of Strong Sad crying into the wrong end of a saxophone. The DVD exclusive short Puppets on the Road had Craig Zobel and Puppet Homestar making an art film called "Staple-Down Life". |

My Dinner with Andre is 110 minutes of Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory sitting in a restaurant and talking. Aside from a brief voice-over at the beginning and end, as Wallace Shawn is traveling to/from the restaurant, that's it. Thanks to director Louis Malle's dynamic camera work, and the sheer intensity of Wallace and Andre's conversation, the movie is quite engaging. It helps that the movie averts many of the more "incomprehensible" aspects of this trope; while the two discuss some rather high-falutin' subjects, as the movie actually is just two guys in a restaurant having a pleasant conversation it's naturally fairly straightforward as most conversations tend to be. | |
