Another good example would be "Picnic at Hanging Rock," based on a true story
of some Australian schoolgirls who disappear forever on a school field trip.
You're never sure by the end of the film if some scenes were real or imagined,
or speculation.  The story starts out as a fairly straight account of the trip
and the girls' disappearance, but it gradually gets more surreal as the whole
event becomes more and more distorted by the memories and imagination of the
other characters (and the filmmaker).  After a while you realize there's not
going to be a resolution, they never find the girls or figure out what happened
to them -- it's the effect of the disappearance that makes the story.
