Theme: Gonzo Films

Gonzo refers to a style of cinema that is deliberately ridiculous, eccentric or offbeat. Gonzo films frequently deal with material that is bizarre, surreal or nonsensical in nature. They also feature non-sequitur humour presented in deadpan or wilful absurdity.

This is very similar to the works covered in Surrealist Films – one can perhaps most easily summarise Gonzo as surrealism presented with a sense of humour and/or quirky individualistic eccentricity.
