Book Description

"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.
