<DIV><P>Here is a classic collection of writings by the Surrealists on their mad love of moviegoing. Forty-odd theoretical, polemical, and poetical essays document Surrealism's scandalous and nonreductive take on film. The essayists include such names as Breton, Aragon, Desnos, Dalí, Buñuel, and Man Ray, as well as many of the less famous, though equally fascinating figures of the movement.</P><P><B>Table of Contents:</B> Available light / Paul Hammond<P> Some surrealist advice / The Surrealist Group<br> War letter / Jacques Vaché<br> On décor / Louis Aragon<br> Cinema U.S.A. / Philippe Soupault<br> Battlegrounds and commonplaces / René Crevel<br> Against commercial cinema / Benjamin Péret<br> Buster Keaton's College / Luis Buñuel<br> Abstract of a critical history of the cinema / Salvador Dalí<p> The marvelous is popular / Ado Kyrou<p> As in a wood / André Breton<br> Picture palaces / Robert Desnos<br> Plan for a cinema at the bottom of a lake / Bernard Roger<br> The lights go up / Jacques Brunius<br> Surrealism and cinema / Jean Goudal<br> Introduction to black-and-white magic / Albert Valentin<br> Crossing the bridge / Jacques Brunius<br> Sorcery and cinema / Antonin Artaud<br> The screen's prestige / Jacques Brunius<br> Remarks on cinematic oneirism / Robert Benayoun<br> The cinema, instrument of poetry / Luis Buñuel<br> Malombra, aura of absolute love / The Romanian Surrealist Group<br> Data toward the irrational enlargement of a film: The Shanghai Gesture / The Surrealist Group<p> The film and I / Ado Kyrou<br> Cinemage / Man Ray<br> Another kind of cinema / Marcel Mariën<br> Intention and surprise / Nora Mitrani<br> The ideal summa / Petr Král<br> Turkey broth and unlabeled love potions / Gérard Legrand<br> The fantastic - the marvelous / Ado Kyrou<br> Concerning King Kong / Jean Ferry<br> Larry Semon's message / Petr Král<br> Hands off love / The Surrealist Group<br> Chaplin, the copper's nark / Jean-Louis Bédouin<br> Manifesto of the Surrealists concerning L'ge d'orr / The Surrealist Group<p> Zaroff; or, The prosperities of vice / Robert Benayoun<br> Eroticism / Robert Desnos<br> Eroticism = love / Ado Kyrou<br> Au repas des guerrières / Nelly Kaplan<br> Female x film =</DIV>
