Surrealism

Surrealism
(अतियथार्थवाद)
Surrealism tries to express what is hidden in the mind by showing objects and events as seen in the dream. It was a movement in French art and literature of the 20th century (and onwards), that aimed at drawing upon the subconscious and escaping the control of reason or any preconceptions.
The surrealist films of the avant-gardists wanted to depict internal moods and status of mind by means of a short of hallucination (रित्तो, loose, wander in the mind).
Halls without lines, uncertain fights of steps, dark and endless corridors in which tragic shadows wander aimlessly. Doors open, curtains billow, hands stretch out and veils float on misty water. These are not intelligible illustrations to a story, but the confused associations arouse by the dark impressions of a sinister tale.

Luis Bunuel (Spanish born director – (1900-1947) creative career – 1932- 1947, 15 years)
He Studied philosophy and literature in Madrid University. He knew English and Spanish language very well. From his early days he was highly interested in surrealist painting and literature. So, he came to Paris to work in the field of surrealism in the year 1923 and became the assistant of Jean Epstein, a follower painter of Salvador Dali, the world famous surrealist painter and writer. Later, Bunuel was associated with Salvador Dali. Bunuel first of all jointly made a film named “Un chien andalou (1928) with Dali, which became highly remarkable. Since Bunuel had a great command in English and Spanish language, the warmer brothers of the U.S.A hired him to work as the translator of the warner’s films to be released in France, Mexico and Spain.
