Item description from seller

'Kuenzli has done film studies a service by gathering some of the best minds in the fields reflecting on specific topics.' -- Andrew Horton, 'Film Quarterly' 'A comprehensive, clear and factual presentation of the subject . . . very useful.' -- Simonne Fischer, 'French Review' This groundbreaking collection of thirteen original essays analyzes connections between film and two highly influential twentieth-century movements. The essays, which comment on specific films and deal with theoretical and topical questions, are framed by a documentary section that includes a photographic reproduction of the manuscript scenario for Robert Desnos's and Man Ray's 'L'Etoile de mer,' and an introduction by the editor that provides a cogent working model for the difference between Dada and Surrealist perspectives.
