Surrealism and cinema

"Tracking the work of Luis Bunuel, Jacques Prevert, Nelly Kaplan, Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Svankmajer, Raul Ruiz and Alejandro Jodorowsky, Surrealism and Cinema charts the history of surrealist film-making in both Europe and Hollywood from the 1920s to the present day. At once a critical introduction and a re-evaluation, Surrealism and Cinema is essential reading for anyone interested in surrealist ideas and the history of film."--Jacket.
