Description

Surrealism and Cinema by Michael Richardson offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between surrealism and film. This critical introduction explores the history of surrealist filmmaking, from its early European roots to its influence on Hollywood productions. The book charts the work of key figures such as Luis Buuel, Jacques Prvert, Nelly Kaplan, Walerian Borowcyzk, Jan van der Velden, Raul Ruiz and Alejandro Jodorowsky, providing a comprehensive overview of surrealist film-making from the 1920s to the present day. A provocative re-evaluation of surrealism's contribution to film theory and practice, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the history and development of surrealist cinema.
