Surrealism And Cinema

Tracking the work of Luis Bunuel, Jacques Prevert, Nelly Kaplan, Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Svankmajer, Raul Ruiz and Alejandro Jodorowsky, Surrealism and Cinema charts the history of surrealist film-making in both Europe and Hollywood from the 1920s to the present day.

Michael Richardson has published widely on surrealism, having edited two volumes of surrealist stories, The Identity of Things and The Myth of the World, a collection of Georges Bataille's writings on surrealism, The Absence of Myth, and a collection of writings by Caribbean surrealist writers, Refusal of the Shadow. He is currently visiting professor at Waseda University, Tokyo.
