"Meshes of the Afternoon" References in Contemporary Media

Two examples of Maya Deren's influence in popular culture:

The music video for Milla Jovovich's 1994 single, "The Gentleman Who Fell", from her album The Divine Comedy is essentially a tribute to Deren's film, with a few nods to Un chien andalou thrown in for good measure.


Janelle Monae's music video for "Tightrope", from her 2010 album The ArchAndroid, also features "Meshes"-inspired hooded figures with mirror-masks.
