Naomi requests:
"I'll appreciate any help in finding titles of the 2 subjects:
Desire and creativity
The dream in the cinema and the cinema as a dream"
 
 
Depending on how far out you want to go with these, there are a lot of poss
-ibilities.
 
In regard to the first, there are scads of films about artists and thinkers,
ranging from documentaries to Hollywood biopics to other types of film.  A few
that come to mind:
LE MYSTERE PICASSO (Clouzot)
ANDREI ROUBLEV (Tarkovsky)
8 1/2 (Fellini)_
Many films by Ken Russell (if you dare!)
CARMEN (flamenco version by Saura)
THE MAN WHO LEFT HIS WILL ON FILM (Oshima)
DOUBLE SUICIDE (Shinoda)
Several Bergman films, including SUMMER INTERLUDE and PERSONA
 
Welles's F FOR FAKE and THE IMMORTAL STORY
THE RED SHOES
ALL THAT JAZZ
Cocteau's ORPHEUS
TOTAL ECLIPSE (about Verlaine and Rimbaud)
THE GOLDEN COACH (Renoir)
Sally Potter's ORLANDO
MY BEAUTIFUL CAREER
THE PIANO
HEAVENLY CREATURES
 
For the second, one can go from Hollywood to highly experimental films:
LAURA
MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON
SPELLBOUND
UN CHIEN ANDALOU
DREAMCHILD
KUROSAWA'S DREAMS
VAMPYR
8 1/2 (again)
and a lot of more typical Hollywood fare, including NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
