Description

Explore how cinema breaks free from conventional storytelling in this Routledge study of surrealism in film. The author argues that early filmmakers demonstrated far greater inventiveness than contemporary commercial cinema, which has become bound by realist conventions with only occasional ventures into imaginative territory. This book examines how the arts, particularly film, emerged as expressions of creative freedom rather than adherence to rigid aesthetic rules. Published by Routledge, this work challenges readers to reconsider the possibilities of surreal and experimental filmmaking as a counterpoint to mainstream narrative cinema. Whether you are a film scholar, student of cinema history, or enthusiast of avant-garde storytelling, this text provides critical insight into how surrealism in film represents a departure from the predictable patterns of modern commercial production and a return to the inventive spirit of early cinema.

Key Features

Surrealism in Film examines how early cinema demonstrated greater artistic inventiveness than contemporary commercial film production.

The Routledge book argues that cinema has settled into realist conventions with only timid forays into personal and imaginative expression.

This study explores the arts as appeals to freedom, rejecting the notion that a single aesthetic must define creative expression.

The text challenges readers to reconsider surreal and experimental filmmaking as alternatives to mainstream realist narrative cinema.
