Description

This groundbreaking study examines Pierre Batcheff, the French silent cinema star of the 1920s often called the French Valentino, best known to modern audiences for his role in the avant-garde classic Un chien andalou. Unlike his contemporaries, Batcheff maintained unique connections to intellectual circles, particularly the Surrealists, bridging the gap between commercial entertainment and artistic innovation. The book contextualises Batcheff within 1920s popular cinema, analysing male stars of the era and exploring the creative tensions he exemplifies between popular cinema and intellectual art. Published by Edinburgh University Press, this is the first major scholarly work dedicated to this fascinating figure in cinema history.
