Dig! 2004
Full disclosure: I think Anton Newcombe is an incredible musician. He writes great songs (check out his work with Tess Parks if you're at all interested in psych rock).

Erotique 1961
Again with mirrors and movement--lots of cool things going on here. As in Oko Wykol, where the man rides the rocking horse while throwing knives, the man in Erotyk tilts a large mirror back and forth while the woman moves in and out of view--the rhythm of the motions is similar, but they are not the same or necessarily in the same direction. It creates a wonderful wave-like motion in the film. There's also some cool experimentation with depth, space, and sound in this one.
