1 Review
Solar Books, 2008 - Literary Criticism - 197 pages
Surrealist cinema, as epitomized by Salvador Dal and Luis Buuels Un Chien Andalou and LAge dOr, was a knife through the heart of the establishment; a scorpionic, scatological black joke galvanized by the irrational, the uncanny, and the spectre of de Sade. The Age Of Gold revisits these two seminal films investigating: the process of collaborative psychic automatism the scandals and riots caused by their themes and images the experimental cinematic theories of Antonin Artaud traces the precursors and parallels of Surrealist cinema in avant-garde and Dadaist film including Hans Richter, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray the filmic legacy of the surrealist movement Illustrated with striking images, The Age of Gold clearly demonstrates how Surrealist film finally erupted from the throes of experimental cinema, the art, texts and manifestos of the Surrealist Movement. This new, expanded Solar edition includes a new illustrated chapter on Salvador Dali and cinema
