Description of Dogura magura:A man is confined to a mental institution after trying to murder his fiancée. Two doctors relate his problem to an Asian philosophy that states that mental defects are transmitted from generation to generation. He learns that one of his distant ancestors murdered his wife as a way of demonstrating a point to his lord about the importance of love over the emptiness of lust and to drive home the point further, created a series of illustrations of the dead woman decaying which in turn trigger the memories of his distant descendant. But is the whole thing merely a game concocted by the two doctors, who may even have driven themselves mad in the process?

This one should be under surreal, it’s a 100% arthouse flick. The director also did “Funeral Parade of Roses” and “Shura” (AKA Demons or Pandemonium), both are worth checking out.
