Shadow and It's Shadow : Surrealist Writings on Cinema

Cultural Writing. Film. "The Shadow and its Shadow" is a classic collection of writings by the Surrealists on their mad love of moviegoing. The forty-odd theoretical, polemical, and poetical re-visions of the seventh art in this anthology document Surrealism's scandalous and nonreductive take on film. The essayists, writing between 1918 and 1977, include such names as Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, Robert Desnos, Salvador Dali, Luis Bunuel, and Man Ray, as well as many of the less famous though equally fascinating figures of the movement.Hammond, Paul is the author of 'Shadow and It's Shadow : Surrealist Writings on Cinema', published 1978 under ISBN 9780851700748 and ISBN 0851700748.
