Book Description
The Shadow and Its Shadow is a collection of classic writings by the Surrealists on their mad love of moviegoing.
The forty-odd theoretical, polemical, and poetical re-visions in this anthology document Surrealism’s scandalous and nonreductive take on film. Writing between 1918 and 1977, the essayists include André Breton, Louis Aragon, Robert Desnos, Salvador Dalí, Luis Buñuel, and Man Ray, as well as many of the less famous though equally fascinating figures of the movement.
