Love in the New Millennium 3: Destino

Many thanks to my friend S. for bringing my attention to the short film Destino, made through an unusual 1946 collaboration between American animator Walt Disney and Spanish painter Salvador Dalí.  It is a surreal depiction of the blossoming of true romance. I was surprised at how similar some of the imagery looked to Peter Chung's Æon Flux. After decades of complicated production issues, the film was finally made available for home viewing on Blu-ray on November 30, 2010.  See the film here.

Some of the symbols may be familiar to my regular readers. I have posts on surrealism and chess boards here, here and here; telephones here, here and here; and Millennial love here.
