Surrealism And Film

First Edition
Hardcover
The University of Michigan Press, 1981

A critical study of surrealist cinema tracing the movement’s origins through figures such as Jacques Vaché and André Breton to the fractured dream logic of filmmakers including Luis Buñuel. Combining film theory, cultural history, and 31 illustrated stills, the book examines surrealism as both an artistic movement and a response to the absurdities of modern life.
